Delta Connection
It is also called mesh connection. Delta connection is a 3- wire system and all the three wires are phases. No neutral wire in delta connection. Delta connection is denoted by Δ . Delta Connection is generally used in distribution networks. It is sometimes also in the shape of pi and mostly in shape of a triangle or can be referred to as delta. there is no common or neutral point available in the system. In this connection every wire is connected to two adjoining wires in the form of a triangle Δ, all three points form the three phases as shown below.
Star and Delta Connection
Star and delta connections are the types of three-phase circuits. Electric circuits are divided into Single-phase AC circuits and Three-phase AC circuits. A Single-phase system consists of two conductors, one is called phase (through which current flows) and the other is called neutral ( acts as a return way to complete the circuit). A Three-phase system consists of three conductors, which is the more economical way to transmit power than a single-phase system. In electrical circuit analysis there are certain type of complex circuits that have resistances connected in either series or parallel. These complex arrangements are usually connected in the T, Y, Delta or pi connections. Among these star and delta are some common types of connection.
