Pros: An ungrounded Wye primary prevents the transformer bank from backfeeding an open phase on its source side.
Cons: Poor voltage regulation, particularly for unbalanced bank loads.
If you must use such a configuration to serve three phase loads, it is best to use the wye-delta bank to serve three phase loads only and provide a separate single phase transformer for things like lighting and outlets if these represent asignificant part of the connected load.
Cons: Poor voltage regulation, particularly for unbalanced bank loads.

Cons: Poor voltage regulation. How will I see this, can you provide examples. the primary load on transformers will be vfds, soft starters, and starters for motors.
