Star Delta

@Muhammad Zia ul Haq


Star (Y) Connection
Neutral point available

Used for long-distance transmission

Lower line voltage, safer operation

Line current = Phase current (I_L = I_P)

Line voltage = √3 × Phase voltage (V_L = √3 × V_P)

@Muhammad Zia ul Haq


Delta (Δ) Connection
No neutral point

Used for high-power applications

Higher line voltage & current capacity

Line voltage = Phase voltage (V_L = V_P)

Line current = √3 × Phase current (I_L = √3 × I_P)

@Muhammad Zia ul Haq


Where Are They Used
✅ Star Connection:
