INTRODUCTION :-
In many circuit applications, we encounter
components connected together in one of two
ways to form a three-terminal network: the “Delta,”
or Δ (also known as the “Pi,” or π) configuration,
and the “Y” (also known as the “T”) configuration.

3
It is possible to calculate the proper values of
resistors necessary to form one kind of network (Δ
or Y) that behaves identically to the other kind, as
analyzed from the terminal connections alone.
That is, if we had two separate resistor networks,
one Δ and one Y, each with its resistors hidden
from view, with nothing but the three terminals (A,
B, and C) exposed for testing, the resistors could
be sized for the two networks so that there would
be no way to electrically determine one network
apart from the other. In other words, equivalent Δ
and Y networks behave identically.

Δ and Y Conversion Equations :

There are several equations used to convert one network to the other:

1-Tee/Wye and Pi/delta Networks.

procedures and results :-

1- Look at THE DELTA TO WYE or WYE TO DELTA
circuit block, and insert the two post connector into Pi
Network.

2- Use your Ohmmeter to measure the resistance

across the terminals of the T and Y networks.compare
the reading of like terminals pairs.
Are the (reading approximately the same ?)
-Yes,Allowing for component tolerances the two
networks are essentially identical.

5
3-CM 15 is activated to increase the value of R2 (Y
network ) to 2050 Ohm.
which terminal pairs of the T and Y Networks differ?
c- A/D,B/D and C/D.

4- Use your Ohmmeter to measure the resistances

across the terminals of the Pi and DELTA
Networks,compare the readings of like terminal pairs.
Are the readings approximately the same ?
-Yes,Allowing for component tolerances the two
networks are essentially identical.

5-CM 12 is activated to increase the value of RB 3740

Ohm.
Which terminal resistance of delta network are affected?

6
-All, in the delta or Pi network, all the resistance are
connected together Therefore a change in one resistor
affects the resistance of all terminal pairs.

6-with CM 12 activated, are the pi and delta networks

equivalent.
-No,the individual resistors no longer equal one
another,Therefore , the networks are not identical.

2-Delta and Wye Transformation.

Exercise objective :
Converting between Delta and Wye circuits, and
verifying the result by comparing calculated and
measured values.

procedures and results :-

1- Look at THE DELTA TO WYE or WYE TO DELTA
circuit block, and Do not insert the two post connector
into Pi Network.

2-Measure the individual resistances of the Y network

-YR1=1101 Ohm
-YR2=1521 Ohm
-YR3= 998 Ohm

7
3- use your measured wye resistor values to calculate
the values required for an equivalent delta network
DRB=2730 ohm
DRA=4401 ohm
DRC=4005 ohm

4-Measure the individual resistors on Pi NETWORK,

and compare your readings to the calculated delta
values.
Do your measured values and calculated values agree
within tolerance?
-Yes,The Pi resistor are selected to configure the delta
equivalent circuit

8
5- Use your ohmmeter to compare the terminal
resistance between the Y network and the delta
network.
is the delta network equivalent to the wye network?
-yes,the networks are equivalent .

6- Based on your Y to Delta conversion result,can you

convert a delta network into an equivalent Y network?
-Yes,but the inverse conversion process requires a
different set of equations.

Discussion :-
-In Pi and Delta Networks any change in one
resistor affects the values of other resistors in the
network.

-It is possible to convert between delta and Wye by

certain rules.

-the delta network equivalent to the wye network.

-The Pi network and Delta network are the same .

-The T network and Wye network are the same .
