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

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the mathematical equations related to transformers, specifically the conversion between Delta and Wye (star) connections in a balanced three-phase circuit. Participants explore the derivation and application of these equations.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks clarification on the mathematical equation for converting Delta to Wye or vice versa.
  • Another participant questions whether the inquiry is about the equations themselves or their historical derivation.
  • A participant provides a formula for the relationship between line-to-line voltage in a Delta connection and line-to-neutral voltage in a Wye connection, assuming a balanced three-phase circuit.
  • There is a repeated emphasis on the request for the equation, indicating some frustration with the lack of direct answers.
  • Participants reference an external link to a Wikipedia article on the Y-delta transform for additional context.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the specific equation or its derivation, and the discussion remains somewhat unresolved with multiple inquiries and references to external sources.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the balanced three-phase circuit are made, but there is no detailed exploration of the derivation steps or the implications of the equations presented.

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.

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 :)
