Delta to Wye Transformation in Power Systems

The document discusses calculating line currents and voltages in a three-phase delta connected system. It provides two methods: applying KVL to a loop in the system, and transforming the delta source to an equivalent wye-connected source. Once transformed to wye, the circuit becomes a single-phase wye-wye system and line currents can be determined. Power calculations are also discussed for both delta and wye connected loads.

The line voltages are the same as the phase voltages. From Fig.
assuming there is no line impedances, the phase voltages of the
delta connected source are equal to the voltages across the
impedances;
the phase currents are,
the phase currents are,
The line currents are obtained from the phase
currents by applying KCL at nodes A, B, and C,
We can obtain the line currents in many ways. One
way is to apply KVL to loop aANBba in Fig. below.
Another way to obtain the line currents is to replace
the delta connected source with its equivalent
wye-connected source, as shown

Transforming a delta–connected source to an


equivalent Y-connected source.
we found that the line-to-line voltages of a wye-
connected source lead their corresponding phase
voltages by 30◦. Therefore, we obtain each phase
voltage of the equivalent wye-connected source
by dividing the corresponding line voltage of the
delta-connected source by √ 3 and shifting its
phase by −30◦.
If the delta-connected source has source impedance
Zs per phase, the equivalent wye-connected source
will have a source impedance of Zs/3 per phase,
Once the source is transformed to wye, the circuit
becomes a wye – wye system. Therefore, we can
use the equivalent single-phase circuit.
Alternatively, we may transform the wye-connected
load to an equivalent delta-connected load. This
results in a delta-delta system,
Summary of phase and line voltages/currents for
balanced three-phase systems1
Summary of phase and line voltages/currents for
balanced three-phase systems1 (continuation)
Let us now consider the power in a balanced three-
phase system. We begin by examining the
instantaneous power absorbed by the load. This
requires that the analysis be done in the time
domain. For a Y-connected load, the phase
voltages are
For a Y-connected load, IL = Ip but VL =√3Vp
whereas for a delta-connected load, IL =√3Ip but
VL = Vp.
Thus, Equation below applies for both Y-connected
and delta-connected loads.

Similarly, the total reactive power is


Determine the total average power, reactive power,
and complex power at the source and at the load.
