It is common to pull parallel conductors to a transformer when the expected current is high enough. It can become difficult to pull 400A and larger wire so you can use 2,3 or 4 sets of smaller parallel wires to accomplish the current.

Transformers are frequently connected in parallel with each other in order to increase the amount of apparent power (expressed in volt amperes) they can supply to a load.

Check this tuturial: It's MV transformers but the principle is the same: http://ecatalog.squared.com/pubs/Electrical%20Distribution/Medium%20Voltage%20Transformers/7400DB0701.pdf
more current will be in case of parallel because in series combination resistence is greater with respect to parallel combination
On a Delta 3-phase you connect the single phase loads between pairs of the 3-phases. Warning both sides of these loads will be hot! You may want to use 3 isolation transformers so that the real loads have a neutral line.On Y 3-phase you connect the single phase loads between one of the 3-phases and neutral.In each case to balance the loads, try to put similar loads on each phase (or pair of phases).
Mathematically, just divide 480 by the square root of three. Electrically, 480V refers to the line-to-line value of a three phase system. For example, measure the voltage across A-phase and B-phase and you'll get 480V. 277V is the line-to-neutral value. Measure the voltage across A-phase and the neutral conductor and you should get 277V.
A load current is a current drawn by an electrical load. In other words, it is the current flowing from the source to the load.For a single-phase system, a line current is a current flowing through the line, or 'hot', conductor, while the current through the neutral conductor is called the neutral current.For a three-phase system, the three 'hot' conductors between the load and the source are called 'lines' and, so, the currents passing through them are called 'line currents'. For a three-phase system, loads are either connected between line conductors (delta-connected system) or between each line and the neutral (star- or wye-connected system), and represent the phases -so the currents passing through the loads are called 'phase currents'.For a balanced three-phase system, the line current is 1.732 times the value of a phase current, where the phases (loads) are connected in delta. For phases (loads) connected in star (or 'wye') the line current is numerically-equal to the phase currents.
Three phase motors only have only one or two speeds. This is done by the coils that are situated around the stator of the motor. When these individual coil ends are brought out of the stator and into the motor's junction box they can be connected in a manor as to what speed and direction you want the armature to turn.
