Why use a 3 phase transformer?
When you’re using a 3 phase supply, it only makes sense to use a 3 phase transformer. These transformers are used to convert the supply voltage from one type to another. They also have isolating capabilities.
Technically speaking, and when looking at a transformer wiring diagram, it is possible to connect three separate single phase transformers to service a 3 phase supply; however, 3 phase transformers are built specifically for these tasks, and require far less energy, effort, material and money to operate. The most obvious difference between a single phase transformer and a 3 phase transformer are the windings. A 3 phase transformer is composed of three sets of single phase windings together on a single core, and not 3 separate devices connected together.
When should I use a 3 phase transformer?
3 phase transformers are used to handle heavy electrical loads. One of the most common usages of 3 phase transformers are motor applications since they can effectively handle the heat, vibration, and voltage of these heavier motor loads. 3 phase transformers are also used throughout industrial and commercial sectors for power generation, motor applications, and any other industry that deals with 3 phase power.

Step-Up 3-Phase Transformers
These transformers are a type of buck boost transformer that only increase the voltage in small increments. The current going through the secondary winding of these transformers are larger than the current going through the primary winding. Step up transformers can be used for applications as big as power plants to those as small as x-ray machines or even microwave ovens.
Step-Down 3-Phase Transformers
The complete opposite of step up transformers, these decrease the voltage in small increments. The outgoing current of these 3 phase electrical transformers is ultimately less than the supply current. 3 phase step down transformers are commonly used for domestic equipment and smaller appliances to provide safe voltage levels for everyday use.
