AnswersDriveIn STAR connection, the starting or finishing ends (Similar ends) of three phases(coils) are connected together to form the neutral point. A common wire is taken out from the neutral point which is called Neutral.There is no such connection in Delta network. The Line voltage is root three times the phase voltage.
What is Y connection?
A delta-wye transformer is a type of three-phase electric power transformer design that employs delta-connected windings on its primary and wye/star connected windings on its secondary. A neutral wire can be provided on wye output side.

Why do we use Star and Delta Connection?
In a (squirrel) cage induction motor, the starter is used only to decrease the input voltage to the motor so as to decrease the starting current. It is T.P.D.T switch used to first start the motor with the winding connected in star and then switch for delta connection in running position.

Why capacitors are connected in Delta?
It is clear that either you connect capacitor banks in star or delta, they both provide same reactive power to improve power factor. As capacitor capacitance is inversely related to reactance. So capacitors bank connected in delta will have capacitance three times lesser than star.

How does Star Delta starting work?
Working Principle of Star-Delta Starter. This is the reduced voltage starting method. During starting the motor windings are connected in star configuration and this reduces the voltage across each winding 3. This also reduces the torque by a factor of three.

What is star Delta network?
Standard 3-phase circuits or networks take on two major forms with names that represent the way in which the resistances are connected, a Star connected network which has the symbol of the letter, Υ (wye) and a Delta connected network which has the symbol of a triangle, Δ (delta).

What is a star connected load?
A three-phase ac system consists of three voltage sources that supply power to loads connected to the supply lines, which can be connected to either delta (Δ) or star (Y) configurations as stated previously. In three-phase systems, the voltages differ in phase 120°, and their frequency and amplitudes are equal.

What is a Delta Connection Electrical?
Transformer connections. A "delta" connected transformer winding is connected between phases of a three-phase system. A "wye" transformer connects each winding from a phase wire to a common neutral point. In an "open delta" or "V" system, only two transformers are used.
7
What is the difference between line current and phase current?
Line voltage is the voltage measured between any two lines in a three-phase circuit. Phase current is the current through any one component comprising a three-phase source or load. In balanced “Y” circuits, line voltage is equal to phase voltage times the square root of 3, while line current is equal to phase current.
8
What is the single phase?
In electrical engineering, single-phase electric power is the distribution of alternating current electric power using a system in which all the voltages of the supply vary in unison. Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly lighting and heating, with few large electric motors.
9
Why neutral is not used in Delta Connection?
A true delta configuration has no neutral. It is a 3-phase, ungrounded power system where connection from any two nodes is the same voltage. It is possible to have a delta system with a neutral, which is typically done by center-tapping one of the three transformers and pulling your neutral from there.
10
What is a 3 phase connection?
Three-phase electric power is a common method of alternating-current electric power generation, transmission, and distribution. It is a type of polyphase system and is the most common method used by electrical grids worldwide to transfer power. It is also used to power large motors and other heavy loads.
11
What is Star and Delta Connection in motor?
Star-Delta connection is a type of starting method of 3 phase AC Induction Motor. Normally Starter is used for smooth starting of a motor. Star-Delta starter starts motor by reducing the initial current. Initially the motor is connected to star connection. After a time, the motor is connected to delta connection.
12
Why small motors are connected in star?
Lower insulation requirement would translate into lower manufacturing cost. The torque developed is reduced because it is proportional to the square of the stator phase voltage in a induction motor. It allows the stator to be connected in star under starting condition.
13
Why star connection is used for transmission?
For power transmission higher voltages are preferred for obvious reasons. To that step up transformer is needed, and for transformer economic reasons star connection is preferred. In distribution most loads are single phase, to reduce the imbalance imposed on the source, a delta winding is generally used.
14
Why is three phase systems preferred over single phase?
The advantages of three phase over a single phase system are: The amount of conductor material required is less for three phase system. Domestic power and industrial/commercial power can be provided from the same source for three phase system. Voltage regulation of a three phase system is better.
15
What is the meaning of star delta starter?
Star Delta Starter. The Star Delta Starter is a very common type of starter and is used extensively as compared to the other type of starting methods of the induction motor. At the starting of an induction motor when the windings of the stator are star connected, each stator phase gets a voltage VL/√3.
16
What is meant by DOL starter?
A direct on line (DOL) or across the line starter applies the full line voltage to the motor terminals, the starters or cubicle locations, can usually be found on an ELO drawing. This is the simplest type of motor starter.
17
What is phase voltage in star connection?
Line voltage (line-to-line voltage) in a polyphase system is the voltage between two given phases.On the other hand, Phase voltage is the voltage between the given phase and neutral. Note that neutral is available in star connection but not delta connection.
18
What is the meaning of phase sequence?
Phase rotation, or phase sequence, is the order in which the voltage waveforms of a polyphase AC source reach their respective peaks. For a three-phase system, there are only two possible phase sequences: 1-2-3 and 3-2-1, corresponding to the two possible directions of alternator rotation.
19
What is a polyphase circuit?
A polyphase system is a means of distributing alternating-current electrical power. Polyphase systems are particularly useful for transmitting power to electric motors. The most common example is the three-phase power system used for industrial applications and for power transmission.
20
What is meant by a balanced load?
A balanced three-phase voltage or current is one in which the size of each phase is the same, and the phase angles of the three phases differ from each other by 120 degrees. With such a balanced load, if a balanced three-phase supply is applied, the currents will also be balanced.
