Formula for what?!
In Europe, low-voltage three-phase distribution is by means of a four-wire system (three line conductors and a neutral) supplied from a wye-connected transformer secondary. In North America, low-voltage is supplied from a delta-connected transformer secondary, one phase of which is centre-tapped and earthed (grounded). The single-phase supply to residences is then supplied by that particular phase, giving 240 V line-to-line and 120 V line-to-neutral. You can tell if you have a delta power when the phase voltage is equal to the line voltage and that you have a star power when the phase voltage =root 3(THE LINE VOLTAGE).
This is a 3-phase, dual-voltage motor. The 12 leads represent six different windings. For the higher voltage, pairs of windings are connected in series, then the three resulting pairs are connected into a delta configuration to tie to the power source. For the lower voltage, the pairs of windings are instead connected in parallel before combining them into the delta configuration. The windings MUST be combined in the proper order AND in the correct phase for it to work. Mistakes result in great quantities of smoke being released! Each of the leads should have a label, such as T1, T2, T3, etc. It will be either an adhesive label or sometimes printed in ink right on the wire. There is no standard labeling scheme, so each manufacturer always shows the connections for each voltage on the motor nameplate. There is no real way to guess at this, if the nameplate is missing contact the manufacturer for a diagram.
In a high voltage installation, with the same power, current drawn is small compared to those in low voltage. However it requires a thicker insulation, thus cost of insulation is significant compared to the conductor cost. By using a star connected winding, the insulation voltage required is equal to line to neutral connection, otherwise if it is connected in delta the insulation rating has to be provided for a line to line connection. Despite having a higher current, the total cost is still lower compared to using a higher insulation rating.
If a motor is connected in a star configuration it will operate at a slower speed. This is the working process that a star delta starter operates on. At first through the starter the motor starts in the star connection. When the motor gets up to its highest speed in that connection it times a timer out , the star starter drops out and the delta starter pulls in and then connects the motor in the delta connection. This allows more voltage to be applied to the motor and it then speeds up to its nameplate rated RPM.
In star, a motor is connected with 415V across 2 phases, which means Line voltage is 240V (415 / 1.7ish) In delta theres 415 across each phase, therefore I = much higher according to Ohms law (I = V/R) Hypothetically; load of 24ohms connected on the motor In star; I = 240 / 24 = 10A In delta I = 415 / 24 = 17.2A Hope this helps a little

To answer this question a voltage must be stated.
A: A DELTA transformer is a 1:1 voltage transfer delta to Y IS 1:2 voltage transfer. That is for 3 phase system, If the phases are not exactly matched or the voltage is not exactly right then on a Y setup there will be circulating current at the common node.
I don't know what kind of transformer you are talking about, but most utility distribution transformers are star connected on the primary side.AnswerIt might be different in some other countries, but in the UK, three-phase distribution transformers are always connected in delta on their primary (high voltage) side, and in star (wye) on the secondary (low voltage) side. The primary line voltage is 11 kV, while the secondary line/phase voltages are 400 V and 230 V.In the United States and Canada, the primary winding is also connected in delta -however, the secondary side is also connected in delta, with one phase centre- tapped to provide the split-phase 240/120 V arrangement.The reason for using a delta connection is because three-phase high-voltage lines are supplied as three line conductors -there is no provision for a neutral- so there is no practical advantage in having a star-connected primary.
The voltage of a winding that is connected in star is 1 over the square root of three, 1 / 1.732, or 0.5774, of the voltage if that winding were connected in delta. This results in a star power of 1/3, or 0.3333, of the delta power.Similarly, if you know the winding current in delta, you can calculate the star current by multiplying by 1.732.This all presumes that the neutral point of the star is symmetrically centered in the middle of the phase triangle.
VP = VL / √3 or VL = VP*√3. this will give you the values for a star connected system. If you using delta the VP = VL

Generally speaking high-voltage three-phase systems are three-wire systems comprising three line conductors, so the high-voltage primary of the transformer is delta-connected (a delta connection has only three terminals, to which the three line conductors are connected). European low-voltage three-phase systems are four-wire systems, comprising three line conductors and a neutral conductor. To obtain this, the transformer's secondary must be star (wye) connected, with its earthed star point providing the neutral.
It's a description of the some of the electrical properties of the transformer. This is a Delta connected highside (the D), wye connected lowside (Y) that is grounded (N) and there is a 330 degree phase shift between the highside and the lowside (the low voltage is leading the high voltage by 30 degrees).
In a Y configuration, all AC system loads are connected at the same one point and are typically unbalanced. A neutral cable is used where the three phases meet. The delta configuration uses three phases that are connected in a triangle without a neutral cable. The delta configuration is better when you need high voltage transmissions.
The transformer connection. Transformers can be connected in Wye (One side of each winding connected to the phase wire and the other connected to neutral or ground) or Delta (the polarity of each winding connected to the nonpolarity of another winding to form a triangle).There are different problems that arise as a result of being connected wye vs. delta or vice versa, and multiple fixes or partial fixes to address these.Alternative Answer'Wye' (also known as 'star') and 'delta' (also known as 'mesh') are two methods (there are others!) of connecting the three phase windings of alternators, transformers, and loads such as motors). A wye connection is generally a four-wire system, comprising three line conductors and a neutral conductor, whereas a deltaconnection is a three-wire system, comprising three line conductors. For a perfectly-balanced load (e.g. a three-phase motor), a wye-connected system can dispense with the neutral conductor. In wye-connected systems, the line voltage (line-to-line) is 1.732 times larger than the phase voltage (line-to-neutral). In a delta-connected system the line voltage is exactly the same as the phase voltage (line-to-line in both cases).
