First we convert the R 2 - R 4 - R 6 star connection to a delta connection ( Y- Δ transform ) as shown in the figure above. Then the three delta equivalent resistors are:
R 2 4 R 4 6 R 6 2 = R 6 R 2 R 4 + R 4 R 6 + R 6 R 2 = 6 2 × 4 + 4 × 6 + 6 × 2 = 6 4 4 = 3 2 2 Ω = 2 4 4 = 2 2 Ω = 4 4 4 = 1 1 Ω
From the equivalent circuit, we have:
R e q = ( 1 ∣ ∣ 1 1 + 3 ∣ ∣ 3 2 2 ) ∣ ∣ 2 2 ∣ ∣ 5 = ( 1 2 1 1 + 3 1 6 6 ) ∣ ∣ 2 2 ∣ ∣ 5 = 3 7 2 1 1 3 3 ∣ ∣ 2 2 ∣ ∣ 5 = 1 1 3 3 3 7 2 + 2 2 1 + 5 1 1 = 1 . 7 4 2 8 0 8 7 9 9
Therefore, ⌊ 1 0 3 R e q ⌋ = 1 7 4 2
