One of the most commonly used conversion methods in three-phase electric circuit analysis is the transformation of star delta. In addition, there are some complex circuits that make it difficult to determine whether a series circuit or a parallel circuit can be easily solved by converting Star Delta.

Today we will discuss in detail the process of converting from Star Connection to Delta Connection and Delta Connection to Star Connection.

What is going on in our discussion today:

• Introduction.
• What is Star Connection?
• What is Delta Connection?
• Transition from Star Connection to Delta Connection.
• Transition from Star Delta to Delta Connection.

Introduction

1899 In Arthur Edwin Kennelly The theory of circuit transformation was first published. 

The Star-Delta transformation is known by various names such as the Wi-Delta (Y-Δ) Conversion, Star-Mash Transformation, T-Pie (T-Π) Conversion. This conversion method is more commonly known as Star Delta or Wi Delta transformation. These are named based on the size of the circuit diagram. Note that in the Finnish language, Y is called a star. We will use the words Star and Delta in our discussions. 

What is Star Connection?

The connection to which the conductors’ resistances are connected at a certain point is called a star connection.

A star connection is shown below:

What is Delta Connection?

The connection in which the conductors’ resistances are connected in a triangular shape is called a delta connection.

A delta connection is shown below:

Conversion from Star Connection to Delta Connection:

By multiplying the two resistances periodically from the star connection, the sum of these resistances will be added by dividing the sum of the resistances on the opposite side of the resistor which we will calculate.

Examples:

R_a, R_b And R_c There is a star connection with resistance. This connection has to be converted to a delta.

To convert, we first imagined a delta connection above the star connection.

Now if we follow the above procedure,R₁, R₂ And R₃    Determine, then we will first connect the two resistances together by connecting them to the star connection.

That is,  R_aR_b + R_bR_c + R_cR_a

Since we R₁ Since to diagnose R₁ On the contrary, the resistance of the star connection R_c By R_aR_b + R_bR_c + R_cR_{a Will share}

Therefore R₁ The equation is, 

The equation is, R₂ And R The equation is,

In the above method of solving mathematical problems R_a, R_b, And R_c  In the above method of solving mathematical problems… 

Transition method from Delta to Star connection

The sum of the two delta resistances connected at a certain end of the delta connection must be divided by the sum of the three resistances at the connection.

Examples: 

R₁, R₂ And R₃There is a delta connection with resistance. This connection needs to be converted to a star.

To convert, we first plotted a star connection inside the delta connection.

Now, according to the above method R_a, R_b And R_c I will determine.

If R_a If you want to determine the two delta resistance associated with it  R₁ And R₂  Its resistance is multiplication 3 T R₁, R₂ And R₃ Must be divided by the sum of 

That is,

How

In the above method of solving mathematical problems R₁, R₂ And R₃  Instead, we can easily convert the delta connection to a star connection by setting the value specified in the query.
