Wye to Delta Transformation

Let RT = Ra + Rb + Rc. We can write the to Y equations as

4 5 6

4x5+5x6+6x4 gives
7

Dividing both sides of 7 by R1

Similarly dividing 7 by R2 and R3 respectively

RB=(R1R2+R2R3+R3R1)/R3
RA=(R1R2+R2R3+R3R1)/R2

Example: Convert the Y connected network into a delta network.
