A star-zigzag transformer combines a star-connected winding set with a zigzag-connected set.

## What it represents

A star-zigzag transformer combines a star-connected winding set with a zigzag-connected set. Its winding arrangement and neutral duties require the manufacturer's complete connection designation.

## How to read it

- Read the zigzag terminal arrangement from the selected transformer diagram.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.

## Information to show or reference

- Record connection designation
- Identify neutral terminal
- Reference winding ratings

## Important distinction

A zigzag connection is not another spelling of a simple star winding.

## Facts

- Drawing role: Winding connection
- Representation scope: Functional concept; not an official standard graphic or a product footprint
- Public vendor block reference: HXF1T12, VXF1T12 (Autodesk identifiers; not IEC symbol numbers)
- Identifier status: The short label is a functional lookup label, not an assigned IEC or IEEE symbol number. Any separately listed Autodesk code is a verified vendor block name.
