The imaginary part of admittance is called 
susceptance
and is denoted by 
B
and measured in siemens (S) or

The two components of the susceptance are capacitive 
susceptance

G
is theconductance measured in siemens (S) or

Even though 
Y
and 
Z
are reciprocal to each other, 
in 
general, 
R
and 
G
are not reciprocal to each other and 
the same holds for 
X

-Wye (Y) Transformation in AC networks
A 
delta
network can be converted easily to a 
wye
network (or 
Star
network) or vice-versa.
The concept of this conversion is normally  used in three-phase AC 
circuits.
10
Prof  E  Ambikairajah, UNSW, Australia
Delta (
to Wye (Y) Transformation 
Each impedance in the 
Wye network is the 
product of the 
impedance in the two 
adjacent 
branches, 
divided by the sum of 
the three 
impedances
Wye (Y) to Delta (
Transformation 
Each impedance in the 
network is thesum of all 
possible products of Y 
impedances taken two at 
a time, divided by the 
opposite Y impedance.

Balanced Delta

11
Prof  E  Ambikairajah, UNSW, Australia
A Wye or Delta circuit is balanced if it has equal impedances (load) 
in all three branches. That is, 
For a balanced load
For a balanced load
For a balanced load the 
equivalent delta connected 
impedance is 3 times that 
of the Wye or star 
connected  impedance.
For a balanced load the 
equivalent star or Wye  
connected impedance is 1/3 
times that of the delta 
connected  impedance.

Voltage 
source
An ideal voltage source has zero internal resistance 
(
R
S
= 0) and it cannot exist in nature
A practical voltage source  has a very small internal 
resistance. This resistance (
R
S
) is typically less than 
1 ohm. (A car battery has an internal resistance of 
less the 0.1 ohm)
The internal resistance of a voltage source appears

Current 
source
An ideal current source has an infinite  internal 
resistance (

S
= 
) and it cannot exist in nature
A practical current  source  has a very high  internal 
resistance(
R
S
) . This resistance is typically  in the 
order of a Mega ohm.
The internal resistance (
R
S
) of a practical current 
source is always shown in 
parallel
with an ideal 
current source (
I
S
)
Note: 
The current sources are rarely built with a battery  and a resistor combination. 
Instead, transistors are connected in such a way as to produce current sources.
