SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the differences in calculating line current for three-phase transformers based on load kVA and power factor (PF). Specifically, question 2.28 requires the use of power factor to convert load in kW to line current, while question 2.27 does not require this conversion as it uses load in kVA directly. This distinction highlights the importance of understanding power factor in electrical calculations involving transformers.
