Syllabus
For both arrangement to be equivalent, the resistance between any two terminals must
be same in both types of connections.

Delta Star Transformation

𝑅# =
𝑅!" + 𝑅"# + 𝑅#!
𝑅!"𝑅"#
𝑅" =

𝑅# =

q The equivalent star resistance between any terminal and star point is equal to the
product of the two resistances in delta, which are connected to the same terminal,
divided by the sum of all three delta connected resistances.
𝑅"𝑅#
𝑅" + + 𝑅# = 𝑅"#
𝑅!
So,
𝑅"𝑅#
𝑅"# = 𝑅" + 𝑅# +
𝑅!
Similarly, Similarly,
𝑅!𝑅" 𝑅!𝑅#
𝑅!" = 𝑅! + 𝑅" + 𝑅#! = 𝑅# + 𝑅! +
𝑅# 𝑅"
q The equivalent delta resistance to be connected between any two terminals is sum of
the two resistances connected between the same two terminals and star point
respectively in star plus the product of the same two star resistances divided by the
third star resistance.

How to Remember?

𝑅!" = 𝑅! + 𝑅" +

q The equivalent delta resistance to be connected between any two terminals is sum of
all possible products of star resistors taken two at a time divided by the opposite star
resistor.

Does Power-Voltage Relations is Linear?
Non-Linear
In this course, We will only consider linear circuits and theorem which will be discussed
in this chapter will not apply to power.
Statement:
The superposition principle states that the current through (or voltage across) an
element in a linear circuit is the algebraic sum of the currents through (or voltages across)
that element due to each independent source acting alone.
