1. A balanced, three-phase, 900V system is supplying a balanced load connected in delta. A three-phase wattmeter (measuring total three-phase power) is connected to the supply and an ammeter is connected to one of the supply phases. Each load consists of a resistance in parallel with an inductive reactance. a. If the wattmeter reads 14.1 kW, what is the resistance of each load? b. If the ammeter reads 10 A What is the impedance (Z) of each load? c. What is the reactance (X)?

Question

1. A balanced, three-phase, 900V system is supplying a balanced load connected in delta. A three-phase wattmeter (measuring total three-phase power) is connected to the supply and an ammeter is connected to one of the supply phases. Each load consists of a resistance in parallel with an inductive reactance.

a. If the wattmeter reads 14.1 kW, what is the resistance of each load?

b. If the ammeter reads 10 A What is the impedance (Z) of each load?

c. What is the reactance (X)?

d. If this load was instead connected in star, what would the new readings be? (P and I).(
