The superposition method cannot be used to calculating the power, since the power is not proportional to the current, but to the square of the current. It is necessary to note also, that the superposition method is only applicable to the linear circuits.
9. THE FORMULAS FOR CONVERTING Y-Δ AND Δ-Y
The connection of three branches in one node is usually called the Y­connection (Fig. 9.1 a). The connection of three branches so that they pre­sent the triangle is usually called the Δ-connection (Fig. 9.1 b). In node 1, in node 2, and in node 3, both the Y-connection and the Δ-connection are con­nected to the rest of the circuit that is not shown in Fig. 9.1.

Often, in the analysis of the electric circuits, it is necessary to convert the Y-connection into the Δ-connection or the Δ-connection into the Y-connection. If the conversion is performed so that the potentials of the node 1, the node 2 and the node 3 and the currents, which enter in these nodes, remain unchanged, then all the external circuit “will not sense” this replacement. Let us get the formulas for converting Y-Δ and Δ-Y using Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s laws.
Kirchhoff’s current law for the Y-connection is (hereinafter, the letter Y above the current means that the formula refers to the Y-connection.)

branches in the Δ-connection (see Fig. 9.1 b).
Since the currents, which enter in the Y-connection and in the Δ- connection from the outside, are equal to each other, let us set equal (9.4) with (9.7), then (9.5) with (9.8), then (9.6) with (9.9):

Nota bene! The following method can be recommended in order to re-
member and use the formulas (9.13)-(9.18) correctly.
Converting Y-Δ, put two fingers in the nodes to which the branch of the Δ-connection will be connected (Fig. 9.2). The resistance of the Δ-branch, which has to be found, is equal to the sum of the resistances of the Y­branches, which touch with the fingers, plus the product of these resistances divided by the resistance of the third branch.

Converting Δ-Y, put the finger in the node to which the branch of the Y-connection will be connected (Fig. 9.3). The resistance of the Y-branch, which has to be found, is equal to the product of the resistances of the Δ-branches, which touch with the finger, divided by the sum of the re­sistances of all three branches of the Δ-connection.
If the resistances of all the branches of the Y-connection or the Δ-con- nection are equal to each other, then the Y-connection or the Δ-connection are called symmetric. The branch resistances of the symmetric Y-connection and the symmetric Δ-connection are related by the expression that can be ob obtained from the formulas (9.13)-(9.18):

10. THE FORMULAS FOR CONVERTING THE PARALLEL BRANCHES INTO
ONE EQUIVALENT BRANCH
Let several parallel branches (with the sources and without the sources) are located between two nodes (Fig. 10.1 a). The current without) into the node
a and the same current I exits out the node b. Let us
I enters (from

Let us generalize the formula (10.7) and the formula (10.8) so that these formulas correspond to the arbitrary number of the branches. There is no doubt that when the parallel branches are converted into one equivalent branch, the conductance of the equivalent branch must be equal to the arithmetic sum of all the branches conductances:
g
equ n
. (10.9)
The equivalent EMF source is the fraction whose denominator is the sum of all the conductances of the branches (these are both passive and ac­tive branches). The numerator of this fraction is the algebraic sum of the current sources plus the algebraic sum of the products of each EMF source on the conductance of its branch:
where
p is the number of the branches with the EMF sources; k is the num-
E
equ
g
n
ber of the branches with the current sources;
(10.10)
n is the number of all the

branches.
In formula (10.10), those EMF sources and current sources are positive, which coincide with the equivalent EMF source in the direction, and those sources are negative, which are opposite to the equivalent EMF source.

branch)
