1. When is the delta connection of the resistors equivalent to the wye connected resistors?
- The delta connection if the resistors is said to be equivalent to the wye connection resistors
when the resistance between each pair of terminals are the same before and after the
transformation.

2. What are the practical applications of the technique delta – wye transformation? Discuss briefly
the different practical applications.
- The most popular transformer connection in the world is the electrical configuration of
delta-wye transformation because delta-wye transformer is a type of three-phase electric
power transformer design that employs delta-connected windings on its primary and wye
connected windings on its secondary. It is commonly used when bringing high voltage to
residential areas, stepping down to 240/120 volts common in houses. It’s also great for
higher voltage lighting, phase electric cooking and motors.

INTERPRETATION

In this experiment, the group performed the delta-wye and wye-delta transformation. It is useful
especially when the circuit is complicated and if the circuit is undermined whether it is parallel or
series. Using this transformation, it is easier to configurate the circuit. There are instances that the
values during the conversion of delta-wye and wye-delta transformation, the total resistance must
be equal between each pair of the terminals before and after the transformation. These values are
given to get the values needed. For the delta measured, the group was given a value of 68 ohms for
the 𝑅1 , 𝑅2 , 𝑅3 and 97 ohms for the 𝑅𝐿 . While for the wye measured, the group was given a value of
45 ohms for the 𝑅𝑎 , 𝑅𝑏 , 𝑅𝑐 and 93 ohms for the 𝑅𝐿 . Using Tina Pro software, the group drew a
circuit diagram based on the laboratory manual, the group used the given values to input it to the
Tina Pro to get the values for the 𝐼1 , 𝐼2 , 𝑉𝑎 , 𝑉𝑏 and 𝑉𝑐 which served as the values for delta measured
and wye measured. In order to check if the group have a good data gathered, the data must be
equal to the calculated values. The calculated values that the group gathered were the same as the
measured.

CONCLUSION

For the conclusion, the group able to achieve the objectives for this experiment. First, to identify the
delta connection of the resistances and the wye connection in complicated circuits. The delta
connection looks like a letter T while the wye connection looks like a letter Y. Second, to
demonstrate and verify the corresponding responses between delta connected resistors and its
equivalent wye connected resistors. It is verified by means of their responses between the delta
connected resistors and wye connected resistors because through configuration it resulted that they
are the same values in terms of their current and voltage. Lastly, to learn and demonstrate the
transformation principles involved in converting the delta connection of resistors to the wye
connection or vice versa. Using the formula for the delta and wye resistors, the conversion of
transformation was obtained. To be able to say that the experiment is successful, the group used
the Tina Pro software. The group simulate the given data in the Tina Pro software wherein it served
as the reference for the calculated data gathered and it resulted that our data is correct because the
values that the group was same in the simulation.
