Homework Statement


A balanced 3 phase supply of VRMS = 6599.1V is applied to a balanced Y-connected 3-phase load consisting of three identical impedances Z = 50<37°. Take the phase-to-neutral voltage Van as the reference. Calculate:

A)Phase voltages Van, Vbn, Vcn
B)Phase currents Ian, Ibn, Icn
C)Total active and reactive power supplied to load

The Attempt at a Solution


A)
6599.1V/sqrt(3) = 3810
Van = 3810<0
Vbn = 3810<-120
Vcn = 3810<-240

B)

Ian = 3810<0/50<37° = 76.2<-37
Ibn = 76.2<-157
Icn = 76.2<-277

Did I do parts A and B correctly?

For total active power, I got:
695490W
For total reactive power, I got:
524090VAR
Would you mind double checking?

I am getting values close to yours, just a difference of a few watts.
P=√3VLIcosΦ.
Q=√3VLIsinΦ.
Φ=37°.
