High-leg delta

Okay kiddo, let me explain high-leg delta. You know how sometimes when you plug in a toy or turn on a light, you can choose different power levels, like low or high? Well, when we talk about electricity, sometimes there are different power levels too.

High-leg delta is a type of electric power system that is often used in older buildings, like factories and warehouses. It works by using three wires, or "phases," to supply electricity to different parts of the building.

Now, the tricky part is that one of those phases is different from the other two. It's called the "high leg" because it has more voltage than the other two, kind of like how some toys have a "high power" setting. This can make it a little more dangerous to work with, because people might accidentally touch it and get a shock.

So, why would anyone use this type of system? Well, it can save money on installation costs, because it's simpler and requires less wire than some other systems. Plus, it can be very reliable and work well in certain types of buildings.

But, if you're ever around high-leg delta wiring, be sure to stay away from the high leg, and always follow safety guidelines to avoid getting hurt. Does that make sense, kiddo?
