Need help. balanced three phase

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the line and phase currents, the power absorbed by a balanced delta-connected load, and the power dissipated by a transmission line in a three-phase system. The impedance of the transmission line is given as 1+j2 ohms, while the load impedance is 177-j246 ohms. Participants clarify that the length of the transmission line (100 km) is not relevant for these calculations, emphasizing the importance of using the provided impedances. It is suggested that the delta load can be converted into a wye load for simplification. The focus remains on utilizing the given impedances to solve the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


A balanced three phase 866v, 60Hz Y connected source feeds a balanced delta connected load via 100km long three wire transmission line. The impedance of each wire of the transmission line is 1+j2 ohm. The three phase impedance of the load is 177-j246 ohm. If the phase sequence is positive determine:
the line and phase currents
the power absorbed by the load
the power dissipated by the transmission line


Homework Equations


is the 100km important in this question?


The Attempt at a Solution


I have tried to figure out the resistance of each conductor, but not sure if it's relevant

100 km isn't, but 1 + j2 is.
 
In what way should it be used?

In no way. All you need to know is the impedance of each line, plus the other data you're given.
 
Hint: a delta load can be redrawn as a wye load; then, since you have a balanced network, you can focus on one phase only ...
