3) In a WYE connected circuit, if the line-to-line voltage is 346 Volts, rms, what is the line-to-neutral voltage?
VAB = 346 <0
VBC = 346 <-120
VCA = 346 <120
If the circuit is balanced then there is zero current in the circuit.

4) In a DELTA connected circuit, the current is 20 amperes in each phase. What is the line current?
Phase Currents are 20A as
IAB=20<0A IBC =
20 <-120 A
ICA=20<120A IA
= sq.root IAB
IA = sq.3 (20)

5) In a WYE connected circuit the current is 10 Amperes per phase. What is the line current?
IAB=10<0A
IA = sq.3IAB

IB = IA < -120

IC=IA<120

CRITICAL ANALYSIS
1. A three-phase system consists of three voltage sources connected to loads by
transmission lines. The magnitude of voltage sources is same, while they are out of
phase with each other by 120 degree.
2. The value of impedance is same in all the three phases. Each of the branches can be
treated as a single-phase circuit, and thus the analysis of a three-phase circuit is not
necessarily any more difficult than the corresponding single-phase network.
3. Three-phase systems are normally configured as either a WYE or DELTA. The names
result from the physical similarity of the wye connection to the letter Y and the delta
connection to the Greek letter of the same name (a triangular symbol).
4. Each of these configurations has unique electrical characteristics. The objective of
analyzing three phase circuit is to determine the relationship between currents
flowing through transmission lines and loads as well as line voltage and phase
voltages.
