Y-Δ transform proof using superposition

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Y-Δ transform proof, specifically questioning the application of superposition in demonstrating the equivalence of two circuits. Participants highlight that traditional proofs involve equating equivalent resistances while isolating nodes, but clarity on how superposition applies is lacking. The principle of superposition is acknowledged as applicable to linear equations, yet the specific conditions for each situation in the proof remain unclear to some. The original poster seeks a detailed explanation of these conditions and how to sum them effectively. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for a clearer understanding of the superposition principle in the context of the Y-Δ transformation.

In the wikipedia page and on every book they proof the transformation by equaling the the equivalent resistance between any pair of terminals while disconnecting the other node.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-Δ_transform

Why this should make the two circuits equal? How can we apply superposition here? I have searched everywhere for this answer, In no where anyone explained this. Please explain the principle or this way of proof

In general, when equations are linear you can apply superposition.

Yes I know that but I am asking how you can do that? Like what codition do you put in each situation then sum it up?

In wikipedia they put some conditions on the current in 3 situation but I didnt understand how ?
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
