Lecture 3

1
Star and Delta Connection of Resistances
• In complicated networks involving large number of resistances, Kirchhoff’s
laws give us complex set of simultaneous equations.

• It is time consuming to solve such set of simultaneous equations involving large


number of unknowns.

• In such a case application of Star-Delta or Delta-Star transformation,


considerably reduces the complexity of the network and brings the network into
a very simple form.

• These transformations allow us to replace three star connected resistance of


network, by equivalent delta connected resistances, without affecting currents
in other branches and vice-versa 2
Star Connection

• This is when the 3 resistances are connected in such a manner that one end of
each is connected together to form a junction point

Summary of Star-Delta Connection

4
Delta Connection
• If the 3 resistances are connected in such a manner that one end of the first is
connected to the first end of second, the second end of second to first end of third and
so on to complete a loop then the resistances are said to be connected in Delta

5
Delta-Star Transformation

• To call these two arrangement as equivalent, the resistance between any


two terminals must be same in both the types of connections
