*So 𝑉 𝐿𝑚𝑛 = √3 (𝑉𝑃𝑚 )∠−30° ) , hence:

𝑉 𝐿23 = 𝑉 𝑃2 − 𝑉 𝑃3 = 220∠120° − 220∠240°

𝑽 𝑳𝟐𝟑 = 381.05 ∠(120° − 30°) = 381.051 ∠90° 𝑉

𝑉 𝐿31 = 𝑉 𝑃3 − 𝑉 𝑃1 = 220∠240° − 220∠0°

𝑉 𝐿31 = 220[cos(240°) + 𝑗 𝑠𝑖𝑛(240° )] − 220[cos(0° ) + 𝑗 𝑠𝑖𝑛(0° )]

c) Line currents in transmission lines:

1) 𝑰𝑳𝟏 = 𝐼𝑃1 − 𝐼𝑃2 = 9.526∠330° − 12.702∠270°

d) 𝑰 = 𝑰𝑳𝟏 + 𝑰𝑳𝟐 + 𝑰𝑳𝟑

𝑰 = (8.250 + 5.223 − 13.473) + 𝑗(7.939 + 8.236 − 26.175) = 𝟎 𝑨

*or you might not get zero in a magnitude number but a small value which is negligible.

The result 0A or close to it is expected for unbalance load system.

This connection has no problem with the unbalanced load and thirds harmonics. The delta connection
provided balanced phase on the star-Y side and provided a balanced path for the circulation of third
harmonics without the use of the neutral wire.
