Interpretation
During the the experiment, the group only did the simulation part using the
Tina Pro simulation software since the actual setup might prove to be a bit
challenging for the group to set-up in the circuit training kit. Through the use of
the software, the group was able to draw the circuit diagram for the delta and
wye networks and do the appropriate transformations, respectively.
The group was also able to take note of the delta and wye connection of
resistances based on the circuit diagram. Also, the equivalent resistance in delta
connected resistors were compared to those of the wye connected resistors and
vice versa. Lastly, the group was able to learn the conversion rule between delta
to wye or wye to delta based on the formula given in the manual which has been
of huge help in determining the necessary resistances.

Conclusion
 After the experiment, the group has come to the conclusions that the
objectives of the experiment were met. The group was able to: identify the delta
connection of resistances and the wye connection in complicated network circuits,
demonstrate and verify the corresponding responses between delta connected
resistors and its equivalent wye connected resistors, & learn and demonstrate the
transformation principles involved in converting the delta connection of resistors
to the wye connection or vice versa.
Another conclusion the group has come up with is that if in any case where
the circuit cannot be built using the circuit training kit, the use of a simulation
software such as Tina Pro, will be a good substitute in testing the needed circuits
which cannot be assembled in the circuit training kit. Though software is being
used, it should be noted that when testing the circuit in the software, the properties
such as resistance, voltage of voltage source, etc. must be assigned or the circuit
may display values which may not be the expected values when measured in a built
circuit.

Answers to Questions
1. When is the delta connection of resistors equivalent to the wye connected resistors?
 The delta connection of resistors is equivalent to the wye connected resistors when the
corresponding resistances measured between the pair of terminals (ex. AB, BC, AC) are equal.
2. What are the practical applications of the technique delta-wye transformation? Discuss
briefly the different practical applications.
One of the applications of the delta-wye transformation is in the use of electric
transformers. One type of transformer, the delta-wye transformer, is a type of three-phase
electric power transformer design that employs delta-connected windings on its primary and
wye connected windings on its secondary. Another application of delta-wye transformation is
the use of electrical filters, which are designed to perform in industrial environments and can
either be in delta or wye configurations.
