Calculating Phase & Line Current

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the phase and line current for three resistors connected to a 400 V three-phase supply in both Star (Wye) and Delta configurations. The focus is on applying theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios within the context of electrical engineering homework.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • A participant seeks assistance in calculating phase and line currents for a specific electrical configuration involving three resistors.
  • Some participants suggest that the original poster needs to apply existing formulae rather than just find information.
  • There is a suggestion to move the discussion to a more appropriate homework help section for better assistance.
  • One participant expresses frustration with the responses received, indicating a need for practical application rather than theoretical explanations.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on how to effectively assist the original poster, with some focusing on providing links to formulae while others emphasize the need for practical application.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the original poster's difficulty in applying theoretical knowledge to practical problems, and the responses primarily directing them to external resources without resolving their specific query.

I'm studying for a Level 3 Diploma in Electro technical science. My tutor had a hard time teaching me what I need to know in order to answer this question;

Calculate the phase and line current when three resistors each having a resistance of 15Ω are connected, to a 400 V three-phase supply, in
A) Star (Wye)
B) Delta

Could someone show me the steps involved in solving this please.

Thanks for your attempt, however this is just as useless as my tutor. I don't need help finding information. I need help applying the information to a real scenario. The formulae's in the link you gave me show the relationship between Phase/Line current. What I'm having trouble with is actually getting a value in the first place.
 
Thankyou! Sorry for posting this in the wrong place.
