A three-phase, 400 V system has the following load connected in delta: between the red and yellow lines, a non-reactive resistor of 100 Ω; between the yellow and blue lines, a coil having a reactance of 60 Ω and negligible resistance; between the blue and red lines, a loss-free capacitor having a reactance of 130 Ω. Calculate: (a) the phase currents; (b) the line currents. Assume the phase sequence to be R–Y, Y–B and B–R. Also, draw the complete phasor diagram. ANS: 4.00 A, 6.67 A, 3.08 A, 6.85 A, 10.33 A, 5.8 A

With the aid of a circuit diagram, show that two wattmeters can be connected to read the total power in a three-phase, three-wire system. Two wattmeters connected to read the total power in a three-phase system supplying a balanced load read 10.5 kW and −2.5 kW respectively. Calculate the total active power. Drawing suitable phasor diagrams, explain the significance of: (a) equal wattmeter readings; (b) a zero reading on one wattmeter. ANS: 8 kW

A factory has the following load with power factor of 0.9 lagging in each phase. Red phase 40 A, yellow phase 50 A and blue phase 60 A. If the supply is 400 V, three-phase, four-wire, calculate the current in the neutral and the total active power. Draw a phasor diagram for phase and line quantities. Assume that, relative to the current in the red phase, the current in the yellow phase lags by 120° and that in the blue phase leads by 120°.
