# 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 $120\degree$ separated legs, like in the picture below.

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}
\newcommand\wye{\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}}
\begin{document}
$\Delta\wye \scriptstyle\Delta\wye \scriptscriptstyle\Delta\wye$
\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:

TikZ? (Scalable line width added, great thanks to marmot!)
