Guys, I have a question regarding a mathematical equation of a transformer

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on deriving the mathematical equation for converting between Delta and Wye (star) connections in transformers. The key equation presented is that the line-to-line voltage in a Delta connection is equal to the square root of three times the line-to-neutral voltage in a Wye connection. Participants clarify that the inquiry is specifically about the equation itself rather than its derivation. The equation is crucial for understanding transformer relationships in balanced three-phase circuits. The user expresses gratitude for the assistance, indicating the information was sought for academic purposes.

I have been trying to figure it out, but nothing seems to help. my question is simple, how are we able to derive a mathematical equation of a transformer for convesion of Delta connection to star or star to delta ?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
now, are you asking what the equations are? or are you asking how did we ever come up with the equations to begin with??

Assuming a balanced three-phase circuit,

Where http://www.texify.com/img/%5Cnormalsize%5C%21%7CV_%7Bab%7D%7C.gif is the magnitude of the line-to-line voltage on a Delta connection, and http://www.texify.com/img/%5Cnormalsize%5C%21%7CV_%7Ban%7D%7C.gif is the magnitude of the line-to-neutral voltage on a Wye(star) connection.

Thats it ?

Thanks for the help guys. This question was in my MID., it was a bonus question, either way I did not attempt it :( Just wanted to know

Thank you :)

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
