Star and delta connections are two common ways to connect three branches in an electrical network. A star connection connects the terminals of three branches to a common point, forming a Y shape. A delta connection forms a closed triangular loop by connecting the branches nose to tail. These connections can be transformed from one to the other through star to delta conversion or delta to star conversion, which replace one connection type with an equivalent of the other to simplify complex networks. Formulas are provided to calculate the equivalent resistances in a conversion.

Three branches in an electrical network can be connected in
numbers of forms but most common among them is either star or delta form. When the terminal of three branches is connected to a common point to form a Y like pattern is known as star connection. Delta Connected System
In delta connection, three branches are so connected, that they
form a closed loop. As these three branches are connected nose
to tail, they form a triangular closed loop, this configuration is
referred as delta connection.
These star and delta connections can be transformed from
one form to another. For simplifying complex network, delta
to star or star to delta conversion is often required.
