Show with the aid of a phasor diagram that for both star- and delta-connected balanced loads, the total active power is given by √3VI cos φ, where V and I are the line values of voltage and current respectively and φ is the angle between phase values of voltage and current. A balanced three-phase load consists of three coils, each of resistance 4 Ω and inductance 0.02 H. Determine the total active power when the coils are (a) star-connected, (b) delta-connected to a 400 V, three phase, 50 Hz supply.  ANS:11.56 kW, 34.7 kW
The load connected to a three-phase supply comprises three similar coils connected in star. The line currents are 25 A and the apparent and active power inputs are 20 kVA and 11 kW respectively. Find the line and phase voltages, reactive power input and the resistance and reactance of each coil. If the coils are now con nected in delta to the same three-phase supply, calculate the line currents and the active power taken.  ANS :  462 V, 267 V, 16.7 kvar, 5.87 Ω, 8.92 Ω; 75 A, 33 kW
A three-phase delta-connected load, each phase of which has an inductive reactance of 40 Ω and a resistance of 25 Ω, is fed from the secondary of a three-phase star-connected transformer which has a phase voltage of 230 V. Draw the circuit diagram of the system and calculate: (a) the current in each phase of the load; (b) the p.d. across each phase of the load; (c) the current in the transformer secondary windings; the total active power taken from the supply and its power factor.
