When using an open delta with a center tapped transformer, one wire is the high leg. The high leg is the one that _____.

A) has the highest voltage
B) has the lowest voltage
C) has the most amperage
D) is mounted highest on the panel

High Leg

In electrical systems, a conductor within a delta configuration that carries higher voltage to ground than the other conductors.

Center Tapped Transformer

A transformer with a connection point (tap) in the middle of the secondary winding, which allows for splitting the output voltage into two parts, each half of the full voltage.

Voltage

An electrical measurement that represents the difference in electric potential energy between two points in a circuit.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
In an open delta with a center tapped transformer, the high leg is the one that has the highest voltage relative to the neutral or ground. This is due to the way the transformer windings are connected in an open delta configuration, leading to one of the phases having a higher voltage potential.
