Delta connection is done for high loads, in the delta connection the terminals are connected in a different way than the star connection and it is shown in the below image and we can see that the opposite ends of three coils are connected together. However, if a motor is wired for low voltage, do not EVER connect it to a high voltage source (either Wye or Delta) as it will overheat. Regardless of the internal type of wiring, these motors can be connected to either a Wye or Delta supply - the supply and the motor are two entirely different subjects. If the power system voltage (line-to-line) is 380 V, then the motor needs to be connected in a star (wye) during the starting period and remain connected as a star for continuous running. The motor connection type depends on the voltage of the system and how the motor is started. With each load resistance receiving 120 volts from its respective phase winding at the source, the current in each phase of this circuit will be 83.33 amps: Advantages of the Delta Three-Phase. Let's see how this works in an example circuit: (Figure below) The load on the Δ source is wired in a Δ. Delta Connection Example Circuit Analysis. Delta is connecting the motor windings up in 'parallel'.

So you just link them up in series and that becomes your star and neutral point like at a transformer. Answer (1 of 11): Connecting polyphase motors in star is a 'series' connection of the windings. On the other hand, a portion of the leads in a dual-voltage, Delta connection can be a smaller diameter than those of a Wye. This makes machine winding smaller motors with narrow stator slots easier. For example, the Wye connection requires fewer turns than the Delta connection (1.732:2) to achieve the same electrical characteristics.
