Single-phase Delta to Wye transformer connection

Single-phase Delta to Wye transformer connection

Single-phase Delta to Wye transformer connection

(OP)
This may be a silly question, but I could do with confirmation.  I have a 2400V delta 3-phase distrbution system that is being converted to 4160Y.  There is a two bushing single-phase transformer 2400 delta primary to 120/240 secondary.  This transformer should work being connected line-to-nuetral on the 4160Y/2400V system?  One of the primary bushings is being reconnected from line to nuetral as part of the conversion.  The reason I ask is that all of the other transformers are marked 4160/2400 on the nameplate and this one is just 2400 delta.

RE: Single-phase Delta to Wye transformer connection

Connected line to neutral on a solidly grounded system, the transformer will only see 2400V and should work just fine.
