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.

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.

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:
