Just a little tweak of a circuit I saw earlier.   12.4 Kv from utility  down to 4160 v down to single phase 120/240.  This was updated to show even with a center tap x former the result will be the same.

Why is the current only positive at source !?

I like that! Can you do one that shows 3 phase 480?

Some neighborhoods have a additional step down so they have a 480 primary

Center tap transformer will make the source act right. None of this will work in real life.

Wouldn't work in real life? Transformers will work in real life. The grounds and center taps just stabilize and make a reference point. If you could please enlighten me that would be great.

There is no AC current, this is DC. The voltage and amperage never have a negative cycle. Yes you can double the generator and wire size, but that's not going to light a bulb, or transfer anything to the secondary of the transformer other than hot liquid metal.

Ever turned on a high bay light or street light? It takes 5 minutes for them to start up. This is because of the increased inductance during starting. At start the AC current does the same as the generators, only positive cycles and no light. As the bulb warms the current cycle starts crossing the zero point of reference line and the bulb is able to start utilizing the current cycle.

Stupid source, wtf is it doing. Everything but that makes sense. I see the same out of people making three phase transformers I don't know how to fix single phase doing this.
