Star/Wye electrical connection math symbol

I am writing lots of mathematics within electrical engineering, where I often need to specify which of two connection types I am talking about.

One is called Delta, specified with a triangle $Delta$ . The other is called Wye/Star, a three legged star with $120degree$ separated legs, like in the picture below.

enter image description here

What I wish for is a way to inline with the mathematics write $wye$ and get the depicted symbol the same way I get $Delta$ , but I am not very experienced with defining new symbols...

Works across math styles.

usepackage{rotating,stackengine,scalerel}

newcommandwye{scalerel*{stackengine{-1pt}{%

  rotatebox[origin=c]{30}{rule{10pt}{.9pt}}kern-1pt%

  rotatebox[origin=c]{-30}{rule{10pt}{1.3pt}}}{%

  rule{.9pt}{10pt}}{O}{c}{F}{F}{S}}{Delta}}

$Deltawye

scriptscriptstyleDeltawye$

end{document}

Merely changing the instances of {30} and {-30} to {40} and {-40} will change the aspect, while scalerel will take care of the scaling automatically:
