The scope includes conceptual understanding and problem-solving related to electrical circuits.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • The original poster expresses uncertainty about their solution to a star connection problem and seeks feedback on their work.
  • Some participants suggest that the original poster's approach appears correct based on their review, but they do not provide detailed validation.
  • The original poster mentions a lack of experience with unbalanced star connections, indicating a potential area of confusion or difficulty.
  • Another participant encourages the original poster to share their findings, suggesting a collaborative learning environment.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no clear consensus on the correctness of the original poster's solution, as some participants express that it looks good while others acknowledge the uncertainty surrounding unbalanced star connections.

Contextual Notes

Hi

I've just started a new Electrical Course and have been working through an old exam paper but i got a bit lost when doing the star connection question - see attached for question and work done

would just like someone to tell me if any of what I've done is correct and where I've gone wrong

Thanks.

I'd like someone else to take a look but from what I see, it looks okay. I think you did a good job in providing your "attempt at a solution" on this problem. And welcome to PF.
 
Thanks Digoff

I think the capacitor and inductor circuits are ok but
the problem is I've never done an unbalanced star -connection before so wasn't sure if what i was doing was correct.
 
I concur with dlgoff, it looks good as well..
If not, you could always come back and educate the rest of us.. :approve:
