Star to Delta Conversion
Why conversion from star to delta is required?
The conversion is needed when we have to change the circuit design for simplification process. It is also done for optimizing the electrical circuit for various applications.
What is the main difference between star and delta?
The main difference between in star and delta is the presence of common node in star connection and its absence in the delta connection. This will also make the shape of both the circuits different.
When is star connection and delta connection preferred?
Star connection is preferred when there is a neutral point required or when the load is unbalanced. Delta connection is preferred in case of high voltage transmission and when common point is not required.
Star to Delta Conversion
In this article we will discuss about star to delta conversion. We will first discuss about star and delta connections, current and voltage equations in these circuits. Then we will discuss about the differences between the star and delta connection. We will also discuss in detail the steps followed to derive the equations for conversion. In addition to this we will look into some solved examples that will help us understand the concept better. Later in the article we will discuss about the applications, advantages and disadvantages of this conversion.
