Yes, I remember the old timers talking about 3 phase delta distribution, when I was a summer intern at SCE&G. The reason they went to wye was because, if a primary fell down, it would not blow a fuse or trip an OCR, because the earth was floating with respect to the primaries. It would just lay there and electrify the earth close by. Very unsafe.
