A balanced three-phase wye-connected load receives supply from a source as shown in Fig. 9.39. Calculate the wattmeter readings, and total power absorbed by the load.
For positive phase sequence, the line currents can be determined as,
Ia=15∣10∘110=7.33∣10∘A (9.193)
Ib=15∣10∘110∣−120∘=7.33∣−130∘A (9.194)
Ic=15∣10∘110∣120∘=7.33∣110∘A (9.195)
Wattmeter readings can be calculated as,
P1=Re(VanIa∗)=VanIacos(θν−θi)=110×7.33cos(0∘−10∘)=794.05 W (9.196)
P2=Re(VcnIc∗)=VcnIccos(θν−θi)=110×7.33cos(120∘−110∘)=794.05 W (9.197)
Total power absorbed by the load is,
Pt=2P1=1588.10W (9.198)
