Because it is the same current, as you can determine by examining a circuit diagram of a star connection.
Because if you apply Kirchhoff's Current Law to the junction between the line current and the two phase currents, the line current is the phasor (vector) sum of two phase currents. For a balanced load (only), this works out to 1.732 x phase current.
normally delta connection wired in 3 phase induction motor. during starting wiring is in Star and after running normal speed changeover to delta .beacause starting time its phase voltage equals less root3 times of line voltage ,line current and phase current equals. in Delta phase voltage and line voltage equals, and phase current equals root3 times line current
A phase current is the current passing through a phase, whereas a line current is the current flowing through a line.
when starting a 3 phase induction motor,first start with star connection,because reduced current is being applied and after start change it to delta connection then. full line current is applied to the motor.
Lets compare between a star and delta connection in 3-phase power types. In a star connection, there are 6 connections (A1, B1 and C1 being the outer arms of the 3 armed star and at the centre, A2, B2 and C2). The center is called the neutral or star point which carries out the any unbalanced current loads through its connection. That is why if you lose out the neutral point in a star connection, there will be an overflow of current through to the loads. The loads also take in more current, generating much more power and could damage the appliance you are using and the components the line current is connected to, since excess heat and overworking may result.In a delta connection, the connection has only 3 and on a piece of paper it is sketched as the connections being joined arm to arm. One side is A phase, B phase and C phase. Getting to the point, a Delta connection does not have a earth wire because the live voltage is always the same throughout the connection. Since phase and line voltage are the same and constants. It also means the line current will change without affecting other components within the circuit. Balanced Delta connected circuits or loads can only have their power supply sourced from a star connection and a balanced Star load can only have their voltage supply come from a delta connection.Another AnswerWith a delta connection, the phasor sum of the three line currents is zero, whether the load is balanced or unbalanced, so no neutral is necessary.
Line current = 1.732 x Phase CurrentCommentOnly for balanced loads.

A phase current is the current passing through a phase, whereas a line current is the current flowing through a line.
A phase current is the current passing through a phase, whereas a line current is the current flowing through a line.In the case of a balanced delta-connected load, IL = 1.732 IP. In the case of a balanced star-connected load, IL = IP.For unbalanced loads, these relationships don't hold true, and must be individually calculated.
1.73 (the square-root of 3) is the ratio of line voltage to phase voltage in a star (wye) three-phase connection, and is the ratio of line to phase current ratio in a delta three-phase connection supplying a balanced load. In each case, it is derived from the phasor addition of two values displaced from each other by 120 electrical degrees.
In a balanced 3-phase system, if the three loads are star connected, the line current is equal to the load current. If the loads are delta connected, the line current is less than the load current by a factor of 1/sqrt(3).
If a motor is connected in star, the current in the motor winding will be equivalent to the line current. If the motor is connected in delta, the current will be 1/sqrt(3) of the line current. If three phase CTs are connected in Delta, their secondary current will be sqrt(3) higher than the CT ratio implies by the line current.
The current is the same in the three live wires. The voltage can be described as the line voltage (phase to neutral) or the phase voltage (phase to phase) which is larger by a factor of sqrt(3). So a line voltage of 230 v corresponds to a phase voltage of 400 v.
A load current is a current drawn by an electrical load. In other words, it is the current flowing from the source to the load.For a single-phase system, a line current is a current flowing through the line, or 'hot', conductor, while the current through the neutral conductor is called the neutral current.For a three-phase system, the three 'hot' conductors between the load and the source are called 'lines' and, so, the currents passing through them are called 'line currents'. For a three-phase system, loads are either connected between line conductors (delta-connected system) or between each line and the neutral (star- or wye-connected system), and represent the phases -so the currents passing through the loads are called 'phase currents'.For a balanced three-phase system, the line current is 1.732 times the value of a phase current, where the phases (loads) are connected in delta. For phases (loads) connected in star (or 'wye') the line current is numerically-equal to the phase currents.
In a 3 phase system, the voltage measured between any two phase is called line to line voltage.And the voltage measured between line to neutral is called phase to neutral (line to neutral) voltage.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' or a 'phase-to-neutral' voltage. The correct terms are 'line-to-line' and 'line-to-neutral'.The voltage between any two line conductors is called a line voltage.In a three-phase, three-wire, system, the line voltage is numerically equal to the phase voltage.In a three-phase, four-wire, system, the voltage between any line conductor and the neutral conductor is called a phase voltage. The line voltage is 1.732 times larger than the phase voltage.
A connection can be taken between phase lines, or between one phase and neutral. Both methods give a single-phase supply. Between phases the voltage is sqrt(3) times more than between one phase and neutral. In each case the load gives an unbalanced current on the 3-phase system but the idea is to average out the unbalances over a group of single-phase loads.
