It consists of a delta connection on the secondary of a potential transformer that is open at one point as in
the figure. In such a construction, when a balanced three phase voltage is present in the star connected
primary, the voltage across the broken point of the delta connection would be zero, as it would be a vector
sum of all three voltages.
