a) The relationship between the phase and line currents at the load is:
V L= √ 3 V P
c) Neutral current equation:
¿ I r−I y ∨¿∨I y −I b∨¿ ∆ I
|1.265−1.264|=|1.264−1.264|=0.001 A
∆ I=0.001 A ≅ 0.00 A( this was assumed as theoretical value is 0)

The difference seen can be neglected as it is very small, this can be due to the fact that the lab
was done in Simulink where no factors, such as environmental factors, would affect it.

The difference seen is 175.8 W, this can be due to the fact that the lab was done in Simulink
where no factors, such as environmental factors, would affect it.
