Star and delta connections are used in transformers and motors to get the required current and voltage levels. In a star connection, the ends of three coils are connected to form a neutral point, while in a delta connection the opposite ends of coils are connected. A star-delta connection varies voltage and current - star lowers voltage to 60% but keeps current the same, while delta lowers current to 60% but keeps voltage the same. This is commonly used to start induction motors at low voltage to prevent overcurrent, starting in star and then switching to delta.

Star and Delta Connection


different types of connections that can be used in transformers, motors etc.
to get the required current and voltage.
In STAR connection, the starting or
finishing ends (Similar ends) of three
coils are connected together to form
the neutral point. A common wire is
taken out from the neutral point which
is called Neutral.
In DELTA connection, the opposite ends of
three coils are connected together. In other
words, the end of each coil is connected with
the start of another coil, and three wires are
taken out from the coil joints.
• Star-Delta connection in three phase circuits is used to vary voltage
and current.

• If you use star connection then voltage is reduced to 60% of supply


voltage and current remains same while in Delta connection current is
reduced to 60% of the value of current in star connection.

• Its major application is in starting induction motor where it need


starting at low voltage to keep starting current low, it is started in star
i.e. its three windings are connected in star but induction motor needs
to be operated at high voltage at steady state or normal state to
deliver rated power, after starting in star its three windings are
switched to delta.
• The configuration can be changed internally by switches to change
the values of parameters.

• Basically these connections are used to get a lower value if voltage


initially to prevent components from burning . after a few seconds
when the parameters stabilize, the configuration is altered to get
the higher value of parameters .
Power Factor
In AC circuits, the power factor is the ratio of the real power that is used to do
work and the apparent power that is supplied to the circuit.
Power Factor

• The power factor can get values in the range from 0 to 1.


• When all the power is reactive power with no real power (usually
inductive load) - the power factor is 0.
• When all the power is real power with no reactive power (resistive
load) - the power factor is 1.

HT and LT

• A low-tension line is a low voltage line and a high-tension line is a high


voltage line.

• In India LT supply is of 400 Volts for three-phase connection and 230


Volts for single-phase connection.

• High tension or HT supply is applicable for bulk power purchasers who


need 11 kilo-Volts or above.
