Assuming 100 amperes and 1,000 volts in each phase winding, the pressure between any two conductors is equal to the pressure in one winding multiplied by √3, that is 1,000 × 1.732 = 1,732 volts.
The current in each conductor is equal to the current in the winding, or 100 amperes.
Ques. Describe the delta connection.
Ans. In the delta connection, the three phase coils are connected together forming an endless winding, leads being brought out from these points.
Fig. 2,168 shows a delta connected three phase alternator, the pressure and current relation being given in fig. 2,169.

Ques. What are the pressure and current relations of the delta connected three wire system?
Ans. They are as shown in fig. 2,169.
