408 volts x 1.73 = 277 volts is the star ( Y ) point of 3 phase 480V. A transformer connected in a Delta configuration is different than a Y or Star configuration. 277 volts is a voltage that is used in industrial plants usually for lighting. The following link will explain the whole star delta connection. http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_2/chpt_10/6.html

Q: Why is 277 3 phase called DELTA and 208 3 phase called Y It seems to you they have pretty much same attributes?

Can you hook up a delta to delta transformer to be a delta to wye transformer?

The open Delta or V-Connection transformer is an improvement of the 1 three-phase transformer. The open Delta transformer can restore power in a Delta-Delta three-phase bank when one of the three single-phase transformers, which can be individually disconnected and replaced in case of failure, breaks down. The open Delta transformer then allows functionality to be restored, but at a reduced power of 57.7 of the original power.


Why delta connection is made in primary side of step down transformere?

not necessarily if the power source is delta the y voltages (or phase to ground) may not be predictable there is 3phase delta with one leg grounded there is 3 phase 240 delta with center of one phase grounded for 120/240 single phase for lights primary on these is all 240 delta y would be 0 120 132 240 or 277 depending on that ground point


How can you terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection?

To terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection you need a 3 phase transformer to convert from delta to wye. Do not lift the common neutral connections inside the motor and rewire for delta, because the voltages will be wrong.


How star delta helping motor from overheat?

star delta motors start as a Y for 3 phase so the windings that normally see 480 volts see 277V a relay switches to delta then it runs as a normal delta motor the reduces the starting current by about 60% for 3 phase


Why vector group is required?

There are various ways in which you can connect a three-phase transformer's primary and secondary windings, or in which you can connect three single-phase transformers to create a three-phase transformer bank. For example: wye-wye, wye-delta, delta-delta, delta-wye, etc.For each connection, there is a natural phase shift between the primary and secondary line voltages. This is called the angular displacement (or 'phase displacement') of the transformer connection.If you wish to parallel two three-phase transformers, or two three-phase transformer banks, then their angular displacements must be the same (there are also other requirements not relevant to this answer).A vector group is a method of specifying a three-phase transformer (or transformer bank) method of connection and its angular displacement. Transformer connections from the same group can be paralleled. Those in different groups cannot

What happens when a phase gets short and also when it get opened in a delta and star connection?

In star connection when two phase is short,it work as single phase system. In delta when one phase is open ,it work as a single phase.

What is the connection of normal wire star or delta?

normally delta connection wired in 3 phase induction motor. during starting wiring is in Star and after running normal speed changeover to delta .beacause starting time its phase voltage equals less root3 times of line voltage ,line current and phase current equals. in Delta phase voltage and line voltage equals, and phase current equals root3 times line current

What is the difference between an open delta and an open wye connection?

An open delta connection is a delta connection with one phase removed, but still supplied with three line conductors. An open wye is a wye connection with one phase removed, supplying a three line conductors and a neutral conductor. An open-delta/open-wye is a method of providing a reduced-load three-phase supply using just two single-phase transformers, rather than the preferred method of using three single-phase transformers.
