Star connection

A star connection is a way of wiring three or more electrical components—like motor coils—so that each component's ends are connected together at a common point, called the neutral or star point. This configuration resembles a star shape, with each arm representing a component connected at the center. It allows for efficient power distribution, often reducing starting current and providing flexibility in voltage and phase control. Star connections are commonly used in three-phase motors and electrical systems to ensure balanced operation and stable power delivery.
