Windings arranged in the shape of a Y are called?

• A. Delta
• B. Wye Wound
• C. Circle
• D. Star

Answer: (B)

Windings arranged in a Y shape form a Wye (or Star) connection. In this setup, one end of each of the three windings is tied to a common point (the neutral), and the other ends go to the three phases, creating the characteristic Y shape. Delta, on the other hand, has windings connected in a closed loop with no neutral point, and Circle isn’t used to describe a standard three-phase winding arrangement. So the Y-shaped arrangement is best described as a Wye, or Star, connection.
