Three phase alternators are connected in star connection
why?

Answer Posted / mahfooz alam

In Star connection the Line Voltage is 1.732 times the phase voltage. As a result of which we can have the higher voltage in star connection when compared to the delta connection. Thus, to have more output voltage Star connected Alternator are used.
