The value of the resistor on any one side of the delta, network is the sum of all the two-product
combinations of resistors in the star network divide by the star resistor located directly opposite the
delta resistor being found. For resistor Ry is given with respect to terminal 1:

Ry =
resistor Rx is given as with respect to terminal 3:
