When i measure the voltage between L1 of 230V transformer and L1 of 450V transformer i can measure around 180V. Can i use this voltage to light up a 220V lamp? Actually i tried it but it doesnt work and dont know why. Have tried also to any other phases but no way that it lights up..Thanks for any input about this.
 
Sorry, what i mean is there are 2 different transformer. I am measuring both from the secondary side..
 
Actually my idea came from the generators synchronizing lamp. When 2 generators are out of phase you can light the sync lamps. I tried it also on two 230V transformers but it didn't too..
 
You have a normal everyday single phase mains voltage lamp. Here's a really radical idea, rather than messing about (which could end up killing you) run a single phase circuit fused accordingly and power the lamp with that.
Why complicate things unnecessarily?

Thanks trev for the concern. IMO to be a good electrician i have to know those things. Not to complicate things but who knows i might use the knowledge gained in troubleshooting one day. Its not just lighting up a bulb sir. Cheers!

I haven't got a clue what your talking about here, or indeed what your even trying to do!! There is a world of difference between synchronizing two generators to run in parallel and two distribution transformers....

Well I was going to reply along the lines of what E54 said in post 8 and like him I have no clue what you're driving at with your question. I agree, to be good sparks we have to know a lot of technicalities but it would help if you could give a clear explanation of what you are trying to achieve.
 
What you’re wanting explained would take a long time to write up.
Do you understand vectors and phase shifts in a transformer? If you don’t there’s no point wasting time, if you do you should be able to work the answer out you’re self.
