1. What is the phase sequence of a three-phase motor for which VAN = 220∟-100o
and VBN = 220∟140o :
a- abc b- acb

2. If in an acb phase sequence, Van = 100∟-20o , then Vcn is :

a- 100∟-140o b- 100∟100o c- 100∟-50o d- 100∟10o

3. Which of these is not a required condition for a balanced system:

a- │Van│= │Vbn│= │Vcn│
b- Ia + Ib + Ic = 0
c- Van + Vbn + Vcn =0
d- Source voltages are 120o out of phase with each other.
e- Load impedances for the three phases are equal.
