1. A balanced Δ supply with VAB = 440<150 V feeds a star-connected load per phase impedance of (12+j15)
Ω. Find the three-line currents. Ans: IA = 13.224<-66.340 A,IB= 13.224<173.660 A, IC = 13.224<53.660 A

2. Find the phase and line currents if the load is now delta-connected.
Ans : IAB = 22.906< -36.340 A, IBC = 22.906< -156.340 A, ICA = 22.906< 83.6590 A, IA = 39.674< -66.340 A

3. A balanced Y-connected load with a phase impedance of (40 + j 25) Ω is supplied by a balanced abc,
sequence delta-connected source with a line voltage of 210 V. Calculate the phase currents. Use VAB as
a reference. Ans : IA = 2.57<-620 A

4. An abc sequence, balanced delta-connected source supplies a balanced delta-connected load. If the impedance
per phase of the load is 18+j 12 Ω and IA is 9.609<350 A. Find IAB and VAB. Ans : IAB = 5.548<650 A, VAB =
120<98.690 V.

5. For the circuit shown below, find the line currents. Ans: IA = 6.19<-21.80 A

6. A balanced three-phase, three-wire system has a line voltage of 500 V. Two balanced Y-connected loads
are connected parallel to the supply. One load has a per-phase impedance of 7- j 2 Ω, and the other has
4 + j 2 Ω per-phase impedance. Calculate the three-line currents. Ans : IA = 97.532<-10.620A

7. Find the line current IA and the phase voltage VAN for the circuit. The supply frequency is 50 Hz;
