Delta connection in 3ϕ transformer:

  • In the delta connection, the line voltage is equal to the phase voltage.
  • The line current is equal to √3 times of phase current.
  • The delta-connected 3ϕ transformer can be used for both balanced and unbalanced loading.
  • In the delta connection, the third harmonic component flows rounds the closed-loop of the delta.
  • Hence, the third harmonic components are co-phased and hence cancel out in the line. 
  • So, the third harmonic does not appear in the output voltage wave.
