Waross; thank you for pointing out they are not paralleled, my terminology was inaccurate- you can tell I'm new to this. Only one is loaded. I don't...

    I have two 75KVA transformers connected to a 3 phase 480V bus energized from a generator. The transformers are intended to back up each other to supply a sub panel in a delta to Y configuration to provide 208/120VAC 3 phase. The breakers of the load side of the transformers are interlocked so...
