Study Notes
Star-Delta Transformation
- Y-∆ transformation is used to simplify circuits with delta or star configurations
- This transformation is relevant for various applications of circuit analysis, such as finding equivalent resistances and calculating currents and voltages
- The process involves converting a delta circuit to a star circuit or vice versa
- Formulas for Y-∆ transformation:
- For converting delta to star:
- Ra = (R1 * R2) / (R1 + R2 + R3)
- Rb = (R2 * R3) / (R1 + R2 + R3)
- Rc = (R3 * R1) / (R1 + R2 + R3)
- For converting star to delta:
- R1 = Ra + Rb + (Ra * Rb) / Rc
- R2 = Ra + Rc + (Ra * Rc) / Rb
- R3 = Rb + Rc + (Rb * Rc) / Ra
- For converting delta to star:
- The transformation is applied to circuits containing both star and delta configurations
- By performing the transformation, the original circuit can be simplified to a single equivalent resistance, allowing for current and voltage calculations
Problem Examples:
- Each problem is related to a circuit with resistors in a delta or star configuration
- The objective is to calculate the equivalent resistance between two designated points, generally labelled as A and B
- Calculations involve applying the appropriate Y-∆ transformation formulas to simplify the circuit
- Each problem involves different resistor values and configurations, allowing students to analyze the transformation process in diverse cases
- The answers provided for each problem can be used to verify the calculations and ensure a correct understanding of the Y-∆ transformation application
- The first example involves a delta configuration and uses a resistor network with a value of 12Ω between point A and a point between resistor 1 and 2, a value of 30Ω between point B and a point between resistor 2 and 3, and a value of 13Ω between point B and a point between resistor 3 and 1
- The second example involves a delta configuration and uses a resistor network with a value of 4Ω between point A and a point between resistor 1 and 2, a value of 6Ω between point B and a point between resistor 2 and 3, and a value of 4Ω between point B and a point between resistor 3 and 1
- The third example involves a delta configuration and uses a resistor network with a value of 9Ω between point A and a point between resistor 1 and 2, a value of 20Ω between point B and a point between resistor 2 and 3
