Delta and Wye Circuit Equations 
Typical 3-Phase Wiring Diagrams and Equations for Resistive Heaters 
Definitions

ForBoth Wye and Delta
(Balanced Loads)

VP = Phase Voltage
VL = Line Voltage
IP = Phase Current
IL = Line Current
R = R1 = R2 = R3 =
Resistance of each branch
W = Wattage
Wyeand Delta Equivalent
WDELTA = 3 WWYE

Open3-Phase Circuit Formulas:
Open Delta Watts = 2/3 WDELTA
Open Wye Watts = 1/2 WWYE
Open 4-wire Wye Watts = 2/3 WWYE
