➢ A three-phase, three-wire system supplies a wye-connected load as shown. Determine the
line currents and draw the phasor diagram. Find the complex power absorbed by a phase, and
the total complex power absorbed by the 3-phase load (shown voltage is RMS).

Note: Show how to use per-phase diagram to solve this problem.

➢ A three-phase, four-wire system supplies a wye-connected load as shown. Determine the line-to-line voltages,
line currents, the neutral current, and draw the phasor diagram. Find the complex power absorbed by each load
and the total absorbed by the 3-phase load.
