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??

im asking what the equation is.
 
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.

Thank you :)
