Question with 3 Phase Transformers Wye-Delta problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a Wye-Delta transformer problem where the participant struggles to match their answers with the textbook solutions. They note that for part a, their answer aligns with the book when the secondary load is a 3-phase 4-wire configuration similar to the primary. A suggestion is made to work directly with resistances for clarity. Ultimately, the participant resolves the issue, revealing that their professor indicated the textbook's solution for part b is incorrect. The conversation highlights the importance of verifying textbook solutions against academic guidance.

My answer doesn't quite match up with the solutions in the book, and was wondering what I went wrong here? Any help is greatly appreciated!

For part a) I get approx. the book answer if the secondary load is 3 phase 4 wire, same configuration as the primary.
You might find it more straightforward to work directly with resistances, rather than with current then calculating resistances.

As the textbooks like to say: "Part b) is left as an exercise for the reader."

Yes I've solved it, turned out part b's solution of the book is incorrect according to my professor. Thanks!
