Perhaps you meant delta vs wye 3 phase power.  All that means is
different ways to connect 3 phase transformers.

Given today's power supplies, I don't see much of an issue with "dirty"
power getting through to the circuitry.  In a computer power supply, we
have single phase power that's rectified, run through a power oscillator
to produce high frequency AC, which is passed through a transformer,
rectified and regulated.  Not much chance for that dirty power to make
it through.  Of course, the circuit board will also have capacitors
distributed around it to further reduce noise and improve regulation.
