The Wye configurations and the Delta configurations are the most common generator lead connections. The following three phase connection diagrams illustrate the proper connection and lead identification for Wye configurations. Six Lead Wye Connection

Connect T4, T5, and T6 Neutral Voltage regulator sensing connections:
On medium voltage generators, sensing isolation transformers are used. The line lead's voltage connects to one side of the sensing isolation transformer. The voltage regulator connects to the other side of the sensing isolation transformers.
On generators up to 600 volts, the regulator leads are direct connected to the generator line leads and supply sensing voltage to the regulator. Twelve Lead Wye Connection (Series Wye)

Connect T6 and T9 Neutral Generator line leads (T1 through T12) can be made of multiple cables. For example, three generator line leads might be designated as T4. Multiple line leads allow the lead to be flexible. Flexible leads help maintain the current carrying capacity which is required. If generator line leads are similarly marked, these leads should be connected together. These leads should be treated as one conductor. Generator line leads can terminate in the following ways:
End at the terminal strip (bus bar)
Fastened to other leadsFor more information, refer to Testing And Adjusting, "Leads - Connect".Depending on the connections that are made between the load and the generator line leads, single phase voltages and/or three phase voltages are possible.
