An airport or hospital might be fed from two different nearby substations.
The substations are probably fed from the same transmission lines with parallel circuits.
The substations will have transformers with the same winding configuration for a consistent phase shift from transmission to distribution level voltages.
The airport or hospital will procure transformers that have the same winding configuration and impedance so the phase shift and voltage drop across them will also be the same.
The low voltage windings of the transformers at the hospital can be paralleled so they both feed the load. Reverse power protection would be implemented so the hospital can’t back feed the distribution line.
What phase difference do you expect in this case? What effect would it have?
