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).
What else can I help you with?
What connection is the higher ampere between delta and wye?
For the same load, delta provides higher current than wye, or star.Wye voltage is 1 / 1.732, or 0.577 that of delta. (1.732 is the square root of 3.) This gives a power of 0.333 for wye, as opposed to delta. (0.5772 = 0.333)This is why (no pun intended) we use wye-delta starters on large motors - it allows them to come up to speed at 1/3 power, before switching to full power on delta.
Another name for y -or wye - connected system of a polyphase power is?
It is not true that another name for the "Y" or "wye-connected" system of polyphase power is the "delta" system. It's called the "star" system.
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.
Why doesn't the primary winding on a transformer have a neutral?
In a three phase transformer, the primary winding is often configured in a Delta. The delta winding configuration does not use a neutral. The secondary winding is often in a Wye configuration, which does have a neutral. The Delta configuration is typically used for transmitting power to various locations, and thee phase loads where a neutral is not needed. The Wye configuration is typically used to distribute power in a facility where there are single phase loads that need a neutral. There are other reasons to use either Wye or Delta, such as grounding issues, but I think the short answer is probably what you're looking for (I hope). Hope this helps! Dave
What is wye-delta motor control?
It is a type of starter that allows a motor to be started across the line by starting the motor with a reduced inrush current. The motor is started in a wye configuration until it gets up to speed and then a timer drops the wye contactor out a draws the delta configured contactor in. The motor then operates in a delta wired configuration.

Should a star-delta motor be supplied wye or delta power?
A star-delta motor should be supplied star-delta.Wye is simply another name for star. Star-delta motors use a star or wye configuration to start, and a delta configuration to run. This reduces the voltage on the windings during the high current starting time.
What size of electric motor that requires wye delta starter?
10 hp and above motor power rating....
How much you can save the power from converting star delta connection to star connection?
The power of a three-phase load is the sum of the three individual loads. It makes no difference whether they are connected in star (wye) or in delta.
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.
Is a step up transformer a Ynd or a Dyn?
Whether a transformer is 'step up' or 'step down' has nothing to do with the way its windings are connected, so it could be wye-delta or delta-wye.
Power a 415volt motor with 480volts?

Delta - Wye Transformation of Resistance Network?

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.
