• Circuit conversions
– A delta circuit can be converted to an equivalent wye
circuit. The equation for phase a is:
Z ab Z ca
Za =
Z ab + Z bc + Z ca
– Conversion equation for a balanced system is:

A 345 kV, three phase transmission line delivers 500 MVA, 0.866 power
factor lagging, to a three phase load connected to its receiving end
terminals. Assume the load is Y connected and the voltage at the
receiving end is 345 kV, find:
