The power ratio between Star to Delta is 1:3

Explanation:

 

Let’s suppose Vs be the supply voltage per phase.

So the line voltage of the supply will be Ö3Vs.

Now assume any type of load; for simplicity I’m assuming it a only resistive load.

And let it be ‘R’ per phase.

 

For Delta connected load:

 

Calculation for per phase power; PD= I2R

 

Where I à load current (per phase)

And,

I = Ö3Vs/R       {as line voltage of the supply is directly applied to the phase of the delta load}

So,

            Pd = (Ö3Vs/R )2R = 3Vs2/R  watts per phase.

For 3 phases:

            P3D = 3Pd = 3*3Vs2/R = 9Vs2/R watts.

 

Now for Star connected load:

 

PS = I2R = (Vs/R)2R = Vs2/R watts

For 3 phases: P3S = 3PS = 3 Vs2/R watts

 

Conclusion:

P3S / P3D  =  3Vs2/R / 9Vs2/R = 1/3

It may be better concluded by drowing figures. If any variations, can connect to me through karan.sorout@gmail.com

RE: What is the power ratio between power in Star and Delta circuit?
Wow guys what happened? Never give wrong info guys. Total Power remains the same.

Irrespective of the type of  connection  Power  remains same.  Imagine  that  u loose  1/3  of the  power  for  every  Y-delta  T.F. Dont Joke pa.

If u need explanation then will reply

power is same

its only the line currents and voltages which differ in star and delta circuits.
