Three phase Definition and 76 Threads

Three wye-delta (120:480) is feeding single phase load as per diagram. How will current be distributed in the delta winding when single phase is connected between line A and B ? When I solve by hand I get different results when simulating in Multisim. Hand calculation - Winding A will be in...

I'm seeking some reassurance I've understood the question since there are no answers given in the book and I'm getting a bit tied up in knots. What I am struggling with most is there are three per unit values for impedance already noted on the diagram without qualifying what ##Z{base}## is or...
