Star and Delta Connections are the two types of connections in a 3 – phase circuits. A Star Connection is a 4 – wire system and a Delta Connection is a 3 – wire system.
In a Star Connection, the 3 phase wires are connected to a common point or star point and Neutral is taken from this common point. Due to its shape, the star connection is sometimes also called as Y or Wye connection. If only the three phase wires are used, then it is called 3 Phase 3 Wire system. If the Neutral point is also used (which often it is), the it is called 3 Phase 4 Wire system.
In a Delta Connection, there are only 3 wires for distribution and all the 3 wires are phases (no neutral in a Delta connection).
