What was discovered
A mathematical technique for converting a star (Y) electrical network into an equivalent delta (Δ) network and vice versa, simplifying circuit analysis. It is widely used in the analysis of three-phase power networks.
What it led to
- A standard simplification for three-phase circuit analysis
- Later generalisation to the star-mesh transform
