What is the meaning of line to line voltage in a wye connected system?

In summary, the 3Phase loads are connected in parallel with L1 consuming 300KW, L2 consuming 300KVAR, and L3 consuming 300KVAR. The LiNE to LiNE voltage refers to the voltage between phases in a wye connection. The units of consumption for the different loads are different because KW represents real power while KVARs represents reactive power. In a Y connection, the central point is neutral and line-to-line refers to the voltage between phases.

Homework Statement



The 3Phase loads are connected in parallel.
L1(Purely Resistive) consumes 300KW. Connected in wye!
L2(Purely Inductive) consumes 300KVAR. Connected in wye!
L3(Purely Capacitive) consumes 300KVAR. Connected in wye!

The part I don't understand is the following: LiNE to LiNE Voltage is 5KV at the Load.
My question is brief. I am trying to find out what does it mean by line to line voltage, in a wye connected

Also why are the units of consumption of the different loads different. I mean KW and KVAR's, or are they not different?

Thank you for the time applied to this question.

KW (kilo-watts) is Real Power as opposed to KVARS (kilo-voltamperes-reactive). The reactive power is power that is stored in the capacitance or inductance of a system, and is unavailable for use.

In a Y, the central point of the Y would be neutral, and line-to-line means the volage/current between phases, as opposed to line-to-neutral.

Thank you for the help. I actually got everything done just those little details that I tried to find yesterday desperately. Thanks again.
