When you have a Delta network (forming a triangle) and need to find the equivalent Star (forming a 'Y'), use these formulas: = (R12 × R31) / (R12 + R23 + R31) Rb = (R12 × R23) / (R12 + R23 + R31) Rc = (R23 × R31) / (R12 + R23 + R31)
This transformation replaces three resistors connected in a loop with three resistors connected to a single common central node.
[ R_A = \fracR_AB \times R_CAR_AB + R_BC + R_CA ]
