A wye-delta transformer has a turns ratio of 2:1. It has a secondary phase to phase voltage of 480 V. The secondary is connected to a wye-connected three-phase resistive load of 50 ohms in each phase. How much current flow is there in each load resistor?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.8 A

Explanation:

We have given phase voltage that is 480 volt

We know that for transformer [tex]\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{N_1}{N_2}[/tex] where [tex]v_1\ and \ v_2[/tex] are phase voltage and [tex]N_1\ and\ N_2[/tex] are primary and secondary turns respectively

We have given 480 v as phase voltage

So [tex]\frac{480}{v_2}=\frac{2}{1}[/tex]

[tex]v_2=240 v[/tex]

We have given that [tex]z_{phase}=50\ ohm[/tex]

so current through each load resistor that phase current [tex]i=\frac{v_{phase}}{z_{phase}}=\frac{240}{50}=4.8\ A[/tex]
