Abstract

This experiment was performed to determine the transformation of delta to wye

networks and wye to delta networks. It easily to determined the transformation of
networks using the formula of delta and wye connection.

I. Introduction
Standard 3-phase circuits or
networks take on two major forms with
names that represent the way in which
the resistances are connected, a wye
connected Network which has the
symbol of the letter, Υ (wye) and a
Deltaconnected Network which has the
symbol of a triangle, Δ (delta). If a 3-
phase, 3-wire supply or even a 3-phase
load is connected in one type of
configuration, it can be easily
transformed or changed it into an
equivalent configuration of the other
type by using either the Wye to Delta
Transformation or Delta to Wye
Transformationprocess.
To convert a Delta network to an
equivalent wye network we need to
derive a transformation formula for
equating the various resistors to each
other between the various terminals. In
converting a wye resistive network to an
equivalent Delta network. If all the
resistors in the wye network are equal in
value then the resultant resistors in the
equivalent Delta network will be three
times the value of the wye resistors.
The experiment is aim to study the
transformation of delta-connected load
to wye-connected load, or vice versa.

II. Methodology
The method used in this experiment
is that which is prescribed in the lab
manual. This experimentation shows the
transformation of delta-wye and wye-
delta connection. In addition to the set
requirements, the calculation to
determine the unknown value is by
using the ohm’s law or even Kirchhoff’s
law. Through the calculation it easily to
conclude if the instrument used to
determining the value of the resistor
give an accurate value.
III. Analysis of Data
We observe that the terminal you
choose to connect the power supply
reads a higher voltage compared to the
other two voltages of the remaining
terminals. We notice that the sum of the
voltages of the two remaining terminals
are approximately the voltage reading of
the terminal connected to the power
supply.
