Difference Between Star and Delta Connection
Star Circuit | Delta Circuit |
---|---|
In this type of circuit the all the three branches have a common node and branches initiate form this node. | In this type of circuit the three are connected in way that they form a loop and no common node is present. |
One terminal is common for all the branches in the circuit. | for every two branch one terminal remains common. |
[Tex]I_l=I_{ph} [/Tex] | [Tex]I_l=\sqrt3I_{ph} [/Tex] |
[Tex]V_l=\sqrt3 V_{ph} [/Tex] | [Tex]V_l=V_{ph} [/Tex] |
There is a neutral point present in the circuit | No neutral point is present in this type of circuit |
It receives less power than the supply. | It receives the full power |
Used in power transmission networks | Used in power distribution networks |
It can have both balanced and unbalanced load | It can only have balanced load. |
Star to Delta Conversion
In this article we will discuss about star to delta conversion. We will first discuss about star and delta connections, current and voltage equations in these circuits. Then we will discuss about the differences between the star and delta connection. We will also discuss in detail the steps followed to derive the equations for conversion. In addition to this we will look into some solved examples that will help us understand the concept better. Later in the article we will discuss about the applications, advantages and disadvantages of this conversion.
