2. A balanced abc-sequence Y-connected source with Van = 100∠10◦ V is connected to a ∆-connected
balanced load (8 + j4)Ω per phase. Calculate the phase and line currents.
3. One line voltage of a balanced Y-connected source is VAB = 120∠−20◦ V. If the source is connected
to a ∆-connected load of 20∠40◦ Ω, find the phase and line currents. Assume the abc sequence.
4. A balanced ∆-connected load with impedance 20 − j15Ω is connected to a ∆-connected, positive-
sequence generator having Vab = 330∠0◦ V. Calculate the phase currents of the load and the line
currents.
5. A positive-sequence, balanced ∆-connected source supplies a balanced ∆-connected load. If the
impedance per phase of the load is 18 + j12Ω and Ia = 9.609∠35◦ A, find IAB and VAB .
6. The unbalanced Y-load of Fig. 2 has balanced voltages of 100 V and the acb sequence. Calculate
the line currents and the neutral current. Take ZA = 15Ω, ZB = 10 + j5Ω, ZC = 6 − j8Ω.
