STAR-DELTA TRANSFORMATION IN MATLAB AND C PROGRAMMING

Here is a simple a program written in MatLab and C programming to transform Resistance from Delta to Star and vice versa.
The C program can also find the equivalent resistance of resistors in series and parallel.

.m file for delta2star

function[soln]=delta2star(R_ab,R_bc,R_ac) R_a=(R_ab*R_ac)/(R_ab+R_bc+R_ac); R_b=(R_ab*R_bc)/(R_ab+R_bc+R_ac); R_c=(R_bc*R_ac)/(R_ab+R_bc+R_ac); fprintf('delta values \t Star values\n ') fprintf('R_ab=%.2f \t R_a=%.2f \n',R_ab,R_a); fprintf('R_bc=%.2f \t R_b=%.2f \n',R_bc,R_b); fprintf('R_ac=%.2f \t R_c=%.2f \n',R_ac,R_c); soln=[R_a;R_b;R_c]; end

.m file for star2delta

function [Soln] = star2delta(R_a,R_b,R_c) R_ab = R_a + R_b + (R_a*R_b)/R_c; R_bc = R_b + R_c + (R_b*R_c)/R_a; R_ac = R_a + R_c + (R_a*R_c)/R_b; fprintf('delta values \t Star values \n') fprintf('R_a=%.2f \t R_ab=%.2f \n',R_a,R_ab) fprintf('R_b=%.2f \t R_bc=%.2f \n',R_b,R_bc) fprintf('R_c=%.2f \t R_ac=%.2f \n',R_c,R_ac) Soln=[R_ab;R_bc;R_ac]; end

Browse to where your m files are located in the current directory you can use cd command, in my case it was saved at the directory "c:\users\Zakaria\Documents\Matlab\blog" .

C PROGRAM

Also included in the c program, can  calculate Resistors in series and parallel
