A balanced three-phase 208 V wye-connected source supplies a balanced three-phase wyeconnected load. If the line current IA is measured to be 20 A and is in phase with the line-to-line voltage VBC, find the per-phase impedance of the load

Answer:

6.004 Ω

Explanation:

For  a Y- connected system given that :

Line voltage, [tex]$V_L = 208 \ V$[/tex]

Line current , [tex]$I_L=20\ A$[/tex]

and specified that [tex]$V_L \ and \ I_L$[/tex] are in phase.

Hence the impedance will be pure resistive.

For Y-system

[tex]$V_L = \sqrt3 V_{ph}$[/tex]

[tex]$V_{ph}$[/tex] = phase voltage

[tex]$V_{ph}$[/tex] [tex]$=\frac{V_L}{\sqrt3} = \frac{208}{\sqrt3}$[/tex]

    = 120.08 V

Line current = Phase current

[tex]$I_L = I_{ph} = 20 \ A$[/tex]

Now, [tex]$z_{ph} = \frac{V_{ph}}{I_{ph}}=\frac{120.08}{20}$[/tex]

                          = 6.004 Ω
