A Delta Connection is a method of connecting three electrical components, usually windings of a three-phase system, in the shape of a triangle (Δ). In this configuration, each component is connected end-to-end, and the three junctions serve as the connection points for the three phases.
Three-phase System: All three components are connected in a closed loop resembling a triangle.
Line Voltage = Phase Voltage: The voltage across each phase is equal to the line voltage.
Line Current: The line current is √3 times the phase current.
Applications: Common in three-phase motors, transformers, and power distribution systems.
Higher Power Transmission: It can handle more power compared to a star connection of the same line voltage.
No Neutral Required: Delta connections do not require a neutral wire.
Balanced Load: Ideal for balanced loads across all three phases.
