Ra is resistance at A, Rb is resistance at B, Rc is resistance at C in star connection. After transforming to delta, what is resistance between A and C?(a) Ra+Rb+Ra*Rb/Rc(b) Ra+Rc+Ra*Rc/Rb(c) Ra+Rb+Ra*Rc/Ra(d) Ra+Rc+Ra*Rb/RcThe question was posed to me in semester exam.This interesting question is from Star Delta Transformation in portion Network Theorems of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (b) Ra+Rc+Ra*Rc/Rb

To explain I would say: After converting to the delta, each delta connected RESISTANCE is equal to the SUM of the two resistances it is connected to+product of the two resistances divided by the remaining resistance. HENCE, resistance between A and C = Ra+Rc+Ra*Rc/Rb.
