A three-phase balanced delta connected load of (4+j8) Ω is connected across a 400V, 3 – Ø balanced supply. Determine the phase current IR. Assume the phase sequence to be RYB.

A three-phase balanced delta connected load of (4+j8) Ω is connected across a 400V, 3 – Ø balanced supply. Determine the phase current IR. Assume the phase sequence to be RYB. Correct Answer 44.74∠-63.4⁰A

Taking the line voltage VRY = V∠0⁰ as a reference VRY = 400∠0⁰V, VYB = 400∠-120⁰V and VBR = 400∠-240⁰V. Impedance per phase = (4+j8) Ω = 8.94∠63.4⁰Ω. Phase current IR = (400∠0o)/(8.94∠63.4o )= 44.74∠-63.4⁰A.
