Experiment No.6

The document describes an experiment on delta-star transformations of resistor networks, providing the theory and equations to convert between the configurations, as well as the procedure to set up delta and star connections using a DC circuit trainer, measure currents, calculate theoretical resistances, and compare measurements to verify electrical equivalence. The aim is to study how delta and star configurations can be transformed and their properties through practical measurements and theoretical calculations of networks with different branch resistances.

Experiment No. 6
Delta – Star connection

Aim of experiment: To study the properties of delta-star connection.

Apparatus
1. DC circuit training system
2. Set of wires.
3. DC Power supply
4. Digital A.V.O. meter

Theory
In solving networks (having considerable number of branches) by the
application of Kirchhoff's Laws, one sometimes experiences great difficulty
due to a large number of simultaneous equation that have to be solve.
However, such complicated networks can simplify by successively replacing
delta meshes by equivalent star systems and vice versa.

Suppose we are given three resistance R12,R23 and R13 connected in delta
fashion between terminals 1,2 and 3 as in Fig.(1-a). So far as the respective
terminals are concerned, these given three resistances can be replaced by the
three resistances R1, R2 and R3 connected in star as shown in Fig.(1-b). These
two arrangements will be electrically equivalent if the resistance as measured
between any pair of terminals is the same in both arrangements.
