3 When the load is delta connected the voltage across each leg will increase by a factor of √3 and therefore
the current in each leg will increase by √3. Now for a delta connected load the line voltage is equal to the
phase voltage, but the line current is √3 times the phase (leg) current. Therefore:

a)

b) The magnitude of the line-to-line voltage applied is:

√3 × = √3 × 230 = 398

(which is also the phase voltage as far as the delta connected load is concerned)
Taking = as the reference phase results in a current flowing through 1 = given by:
∠0° 398∠0°
>? = = = 128.3∠ − 14.9°
3 + 40.8 3.10∠14.9°
This corresponds to the phase current. The magnitude of the line current is simply given by:
| | = √3 × | >? | = √3 × 128.3 = 222.2
c) The real power can be calculated either from:

=3 >? >? = 3 × 398 × 128.3 × cos@14.9°A = 148 $

Or from:
B
= 3 >? 2 = 3 × 128.3B × 3 = 148 $

6.
In a star-connected load, the phase voltage applied is 230Vrms. Taking as the reference phasor and
defining its phase as 0֯, the phase current is given by:

∠0° 230∠0° 230∠0°

> = = = = 74.1∠ − 14.9°
1> 3 + 40.8 3.10∠14.9°
In a star-connected load:
=3 > > = 3 × 230 × 74.1 × cos@14.9°A = 49.4 $

Or from:
B
= 3 >? 2 = 3 × 74.1B × 3 = 49.4 $

(which is 1/3 of the power in the delta connection – which is in fact a general result)

7. Since the motor is delivering 3.86MW of mechanical power and has an efficiency of 92% then the
electrical input power to the motor is:
3.86
CD = = 4.2E$
0.92
since:

CD = √3 × × × cos
so the line current is:
CD 4200000
= = = 245
√3 × × √3 × 11000 × 0.9
Since the generator is star connected then:
_FGD = = 245
and the motor is delta connected so:

Alternatively:

And:
