Tutorial V - 3 Phase Circuits
(3 Phase Circuits)
1. A resistor of 250 Ω, is connected in series with a 1.5 H inductor, across a 100 V, 50 Hz supply.
Calculate (a) the current flowing, (b) the circuit phase angle, (c) the voltage developed across
each component and (d) the power dissipated.
[Ans: (a) 187.5 mA (b) 62.05o (c) VR = 46.86 V and VL = 88.33 V (d) 8.789 W]
2. Using Thevenin’s equivalent circuit, determine the rms value of the voltage across the 100 Ω
resistor after the switch is closed in the 3 phase circuit shown in figure.
[Ans: 115.5 V]
3. A set of 3 equal resistors, each of value Rx, connected in star across RYB of given below figure
consumes the same power as the unbalanced delta-connected load shown. Find the value of Rx
in ohms.
[Ans: Rx=100 Ω]
4. An unbalanced star connected load is fed from a three-phase three wire balanced 400 V supply.
The load impedances in the three phases are: ZR = (4+j8) Ω; ZY = (3+j4) Ω; ZB = (15+j20) Ω
assuming the phase sequence to be RYB, calculate the total power absorbed by the load.
5. A balanced delta connected load of (8+j6) Ω per phase is connected to a 400 V, 50 Hz 3 Phase
supply lines. If the input power factor to be improved to 0.9 by connecting a bank of star
connected capacitors. Calculate the required KVAr of the capacitor bank.
6. Using the star - delta transformation, find the currents I1, I2, I3 for the given circuit. All the
resistances are in ohms.
