How do you apply the wye delta transformation in complex electrical circuits?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the limitations of applying the wye-delta transformation in complex electrical circuits. Special cases include configurations like a cube with resistors on all sides, where obtaining resistance between opposite corners can be challenging. Additionally, messy resistor networks, current sources, and voltage sources complicate the application of this transformation. Participants seek graphical representations to better understand these scenarios. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for alternative methods in certain circuit configurations.

The cube with resistors on all sides is an example.
 
Alright..other cases instead?
 
You can probably figure out how to obtain the resistance between opposite corners when all edges of the cube have equal resistance, but how would you do the general cube?

Other examples are messy nets of resistors, current sources, and voltage sources.
