What is the power ratio between power in Star and Delta
circuit?

Answer Posted / karl

If placing 3 resistors in Delta rather than Star will end
up with 3 times more heating power. This is because you
have sq root of 3 times more voltage across each resistor
in Delta and hence end up with the sq root of 3 times more
current through each resistor. The sq root of 3 of more
voltage times the sq root of 3 of more current than, star
connected resistors means 3 times more power. Capacitor
are often connected in Delta for power factor correction as
this offers 3 times more reactive power than in Star
connection, though be aware they need to be able to cope
with line voltage across each Cap in Delta.
