WYE (Y) and DELTA ( ) Conversion

The document discusses Y-Δ (wye-delta) transformations which can be used to simplify electrical networks that contain resistors connected in neither purely series nor parallel configurations. Specifically, it introduces the Y and Δ networks as three-terminal equivalent networks and provides formulas for converting between the two representations. A Y-Δ transformation preserves the current and voltage relationships in a balanced electrical circuit and is commonly used in circuit analysis and three-phase power systems.

• Situations often arise in circuit analysis when the resistors are
neither in parallel nor in series.
• For example, consider the bridge circuit in figure 6.1. How do
we combine resistors R1 through R6 when the resistors are
neither in series nor in parallel?
• Many
  circuits of the type shown in figure 6.1 can be simplified
by using three-terminal equivalent networks. These are the
WYE (Y) or Tee (T) network shown in figure 6.2 and the or
network shown in figure 6.3. These networks occur by
themselves or as part of a larger network.
• 3 used networks:
Three-phase networks
Electrical filters
Matching networks
•  The Y- transform, also written wye-delta, is a
mathematical technique to simplify the analysis of an
electrical networks. The name derives from the shapes
of the circuit diagrams, which look respectively like
the letter Y and the Greek capital .
• The Y, spelled as wye, can also be called T or star,
the , can also be called triangle, spelled out as pi, or
mesh.
•  Thus, common names for the transformation include
wye-delta or delta-wye, star-delta, star-mesh, or T-.
This circuit transformation theory was published by
Arthur Edwin Kennelly in 1899.
• It is widely used in analysis of three-phase electric
power circuits. The Y- transform can be considered a
special case of the star-mesh transform for three
resistors.
Delta – Wye Transformation
• DELTA
  – WYE
• Each resistor in the Y network is the product of the resistors in
the two adjacent branches, divided by the sum of the three
resistors.
Wye-Delta (Star-Delta) Transformation

• WYE
  – DELTA
• Each resistor in the network is the sum of all possible products
of Y resistors taken at a time, divided by the opposite Y
resistor.
•  The Y and networks are said to be balanced when

• Under these conditions, conversion formulas become


• or

Note: Notice that the Y-connection is like a “series” connection


while the -connection is like a “parallel” connection, this is why
RY is less than R.
