Why we haven't any connection other than Delta or star in 3phase

why we haven't any connection other than Delta or star in 3phase

Is it even theoretically possible to have another connection?

 

[Carl Pugh]

Extended delta is one connection.
Scott connection is another connection.
Open delta is another connection.
Zigzag is another connectiion

 

[cabraham]

Double Y, double delta, open delta, & dual secondary w/ one Y & one delta phased for 12-phase rectification. There are creative combinations that people have come up with. Also, as stated above, a zig-zag is a useful connection. It allows the creation of an optimum ground point/node.

There are several reasons why we primarily use Delta or Star connections in 3-phase systems. One reason is that these connections provide a balanced load distribution, which is important for efficient power transmission. This means that the voltage and current are evenly distributed among the three phases, reducing the strain on individual components and increasing the overall reliability of the system.

Another reason is that Delta and Star connections can easily be converted into each other, allowing for flexibility in power distribution. This is particularly useful in industrial settings where different types of equipment may require different types of connections.

Additionally, these connections are relatively simple and cost-effective to implement, making them a popular choice in power systems. Other types of connections, such as Y or T connections, may have specific applications but are not as widely used due to their complexity and cost.

Overall, the Delta and Star connections have proven to be reliable and efficient choices for 3-phase power systems, which is why they are the most commonly used connections in this type of system. However, as technology and power needs continue to evolve, it is possible that we may see the use of other types of connections in the future.
