2. A Y-connected solidly grounded voltage source with unbalanced voltage is applied to a balanced
line and load. Assume that there is no mutual coupling between phases. The load is connected delta.

Voltage source: Vag=277/_0º, Vbg=260/_-120º, Vcg=295/_115º
Load impedance : 30/_40º.
Line impedance: 1/_85º.

3. A 3-phase transmission line has series reactance of XS in all three phases and mutual inductance
between every pair of phases of Xm. Voltages at one end of the line are Va, Vb, Vc, and voltages at

5. As you know, the power delivered to a three-phase network is given by

T
S = Vag I a* + Vbg I b* + Vcg I c* = V abc I * abc
Using the above relation, develop an expression for the power delivered to the three phase network
in terms of only sequence quantities.

In matrix notation:
T *
S3
= [Vabc ] [ I abc ]

T *
= {[ A] [V012 ]} {[ A] [ I 012 ]}

T T * *
= [V012 ] [ A] [ A] [ I 012 ]
Now
