Three-phase Vs.Single-phase
Power?
1. The horsepower rating of three-phase motors and the
kilovolt-ampere rating of three-phase transformers are
about 150% greater than for single-phase motors or
transformers with a similar frame size.

Question
A delta-connected alternator is connected to a
wye-connected resistive load. The alternator
produces a line voltage of 240 V and the
resistors have a value of 6 each. Find the
following values:
a) line voltage of the load
b) phase voltage of the load
c) phase current of the load
d) line current to the load
e) line current delivered by the alternator
f) phase current of the alternator
g) phase voltage of the alternator
h) true power
Solution
a) 240 volt
b) 240 / 1.732 = 138.57 volt
c) I = V/Z = 138.57 / 6 = 23.09 A
d) 23.09 A
e) 23.09 A
f) I(phase) = I(load) / 1.732 = 23.09 / 1.732 =
13.33 A
g) 240 volt
h) P = 1.732 x E(load) x E(line) x PF
P = 1.732 x 240 x 23.09 x 1
P = 9598.05 watt
The End
