High-leg delta (also known as wild-leg, stinger leg, bastard leg, high-leg, orange-leg, red-leg, dog-leg delta) is a type of electrical service connection for three-phase electric power installations. It is used when both single and three-phase power is desired to be supplied from a three phase transformer (or transformer bank). The three-phase power is connected in the delta configuration, and the center point of one phase is grounded. This creates both a split-phase single-phase supply (L1 or L2 to neutral on diagram at right) and three-phase (L1–L2–L3 at right). It is sometimes called orange leg because the L3 wire is required to be color-coded orange in the United States.[1] By convention, the high leg is usually set in the center (B phase) lug in the involved panel, regardless of the L1–L2–L3 designation at the transformer.
