V. Discussion (20 Points)

A. Interpretation (5 Points)

• Wye (Y) Connection: In a Wye (or Y) connection, one end of each of the
three phases is connected to a common point, known as the neutral or star point.
The other ends are connected to the load.

• Delta Connection: In a Delta connection, the three phases are connected in

a triangular configuration, forming a closed loop.

• Conversion: Wye-Delta connections are used to convert between different

types of three-phase connections. For example, a motor may be connected in Wye
during starting to reduce starting current and then switched to Delta for normal
operation.

• Balanced vs. Unbalanced Loads: Wye-Delta connections can be used with

both balanced (equal loads on each phase) and unbalanced loads.

C. Conclusion (10 points)

Three-phase power:

-Commonly used in industrial machinery, electric motors, power

distribution grids, and large-scale electrical systems.

Wye-Delta connections:

-Used to configure three-phase systems to meet specific operational

requirements, such as reducing starting current in motors or
balancing loads across phases.
In summary, three-phase power systems provide a more efficient and
balanced way to distribute electrical power.
