A 'Wye' (Y) connection motor is the motor phases connected at one point... imagine the ends of three coils started a single point, and all connected, and then the other end of all three 'phase winds' are the input power leads.

A 'Delta' (D) configuration motor i the most used, imagine three pencils, now connect the lead of one pencil to the eraser of the next, do so in a triangle, now imagine the coils instead, and think that each connection between lead and eraser end is an input phase lead on the motor. Each input phase splits off in two, half going trough one 'phase coil' and the other half going trough the next 'phase coil'.

Do you understand now?
