A balanced delta connected load is connected to a 415 V, 50 Hz supply. If the per phase
impedance of the load is (8 + j12) ohm, then calculate the phase current of the load. Also,
find out the line current and the power consumed by each phase.

Detailed Solution
Concept:
Ina three-phase balanced system, the total power consumed is given by
P=¥3 Vil cos >
Ina star-connected three-phase system,
Vi = ¥3 x Vpn
And l= lon
Tn = wir
In a delta connected three-phase system,
Where,
Vcis line voltage
Vpn is phase voltage
\Lis line current
In is the phase current ~
Calculation:
The given load is a delta-connected load.
Vi = Von= 415 V
Inductive reactance = X = 120
R=80
Impedance Zpn = (8 +j12) 0 = 14.42 256.30"
$= 56.30°Power factor = cos = 0.555
Phase current Jon = 44> = 28:78 A
Line current, = V3ljn = 73 x 28.78 = 49.85 A
Total power consumed, P= v3 Vil, cos
P= V3 x 415 x 49.85 x 0.555 = 19887 W
Power consumed by each phase = P /3 = 19887 /3
Power consumed by each phase = 6629 W
