Star/Wye electrical connection math symbol












7















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...

          I made one leg a bit thicker, in the manner of Delta.



          Works across math styles.



          documentclass{article}
          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}}

          $Deltawye
          scriptstyleDeltawye
          scriptscriptstyleDeltawye$

          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:
