A three-hase delta ( Δ )-connected balanced load (Fig. 9.a) is fed from a balanced three-hase suly. A balanced load means that, the magnitude of the imedance er hase, is same, i.e., = = YB =, and their angle is also same, as φ = φ = φyb = φ. n other words, if the imedance er hase is given as, φ = + j X, then = = B =, and also X = X = X Yb = X. The magnitude and hase angle of the imedance er hase are: ( X / ) = + X, and φ = tan.n this case, the magnitudes of the hase voltages are same, as those of the line voltages = = YB =. The hase currents (Fig. 9.b) are obtained as, 0 φ = = φ φ YN 0 YB YB ( 0 + φ ) = = (0 + φ ) YB φ YB + 0 ( 0 φ ) = = (0 φ ) φ n this case, the hase voltage, is taken as reference. This shows that the hase currents are equal in magnitude, i.e., ( YB ), as the magnitudes of the voltage and load imedance, er hase, are same, with their hase angles dislaced from each other in sequence by 0. The magnitude of the hase currents, is exressed as = ( / ). The line currents (Fig. 9.b) are given as θ ( φ ) (0 φ ) = 3 (30 + φ ) 30 + φ ) ( Y θ Y YB ( 0 + φ ) ( φ ) = 3 (50 + φ ) 50 + φ ) B θ ( B ( 90 φ ) YB ( 0 φ ) (0 + φ ) = 3 (90 φ ) The line currents are balanced, as their magnitudes are same and 3 times the magnitudes of the hase currents ( = 3 ), with the hase angles dislaced from each other in sequence by 0. Also to note that the line current, say, lags the corresonding hase current, by 30. f the hase current, is taken as reference, the hase currents are 0 (.0 + j0.0) : YB 0 ( 0.5 j0.866) ; + 0 ( 0.5 + j0.866). The line currents are obtained as ersion EE T, Kharagur

The ower consumed er hase, for the delta-connected balanced circuit, is given by ( ) W = cos φ = cos, t has been shown earlier that the magnitudes of the hase and line voltages are same, i.e., =. The magnitude of the hase current is ( / 3 ) times the magnitude of the line current, i.e., ( / 3) is obtained as =. Substituting the two exressions, the total ower consumed ( / 3) cos φ = 3 cos φ W = 3 t may be observed that the hase angle, φ is the angle between the hase voltage, and the hase current,. Also that the exression for the total ower in a threehase balanced circuit is the same, whatever be the tye of connection star or delta. Examle 9. The star-connected load having imedance of ( j 6) er hase is connected in arallel with the delta-connected load having imedance of ( 7 + j 8) er hase (Fig. 9.a), with both the loads being balanced, and fed from a three-hase, 30, balanced suly, with the hase sequence as -Y-B.

Solution For the balanced star-connected load, the imedance er hase is, = ( j6) = 0.0 53. 3 The above load is converted into its equivalent delta. The imedance er hase is, = 3 = 3 ( j6) = (36 j 48) = 60.0 53. 3 For the balanced delta-connected load, the imedance er hase is, = (7 + j8) = 3.45 + 33. 69 n the equivalent circuit for the load (Fig. 9.b), the two imedances, & are in arallel. So, the total admittance er hase is, Y = Y + Y = + = + 60.0 53.3 3.45 + 33.69 = 0.067 + 53.3 + 0.0308 33. 69 = [( 0.0+ j 0.0333) + (0.0564 j 0.07094)] = (0.03564 j 0.00376) = 0.03584 6.04 The total imedance er hase is, = / Y = /(0.03584 6.04 ) = 7.90 + 6.04 = (7.748 + j.98) The hasor diagram is shown in Fig. 9.c. Taking the line voltage, as reference, = 30 0 The other two line voltages are, YB = 30 0 ; = 30 + 0 For the equivalent delta-connected load, the line and hase voltages are same. So, the hase current, is, 30.0 0 = = = 8.43 6.04 = (8.98 j 0.865) A 7.90 + 6.04 The two other hase currents are, =.43 6.04 ; = 8.43 + 3. 976 YB 8 The magnitude of the line current is 3 times the magnitude of the hase current. So, the line current is = 3 = 3 8.43 = 4. 77 A The line current, lags the corresonding hase current, by 30. So, the line current, is = 4.77 36. 04 A The other two line currents are, Y = 4.77 56.04 ; B = 4.77 + 83. 976 Also, the hase angle of the total imedance is ositive. So, the ower factor is cos φ = cos 6.04 = 0. 9945 lag The total volt-ameres is S = 3 = 3 30 8.43 = 5. 688 ka The total A is also obtained as S = 3 = 3 30 4.77 = 5. 688 ka The total ower is P = 3 cos φ = 3 30 8.43 0.9945 = 5. 657 kw The total reactive volt-ameres is, Q = 3 sin φ = 3 30 8.43 sin 6.04 = 597.

An alternative method, by converting the delta-connected art into its equivalent star is given, as shown earlier in Ex. 8.. For the balanced star-connected load, the imedance er hase is, = ( j6) = 0.0 53. 3 For the balanced delta-connected load, the imedance er hase is, = (7 + j8) = 3.45 + 33. 69 Converting the above load into its equivalent star, the imedance er hase is, = / 3 = (7 + j8) / 3 = (9 + j 6) = 0.87 + 33. 69 n the equivalent circuit for the load, the two imedances, & are in arallel. So, the total admittance er hase is, Y = Y + Y = + = + 0.0 53.3 0.87 + 33.69 = 0.05 + 53.3 + 0.0945 33.69 = [(0.03 + j 0.04) + (0.0769 j 0.058)] = (0.069 j 0.08) = 0.075 6.035 The total imedance er hase is, = / Y = /(0.075 6.035 ) = 9.303 + 6.035 = (95+ j 0.976) The hasor diagram is shown in Fig. 8.5c. The magnitude of the hase voltage is, = = / 3 = 30 / 3 = 3. N 8 The line voltage, is taken as reference as given earlier. The corresonding hase voltage, lags by. So, the hase voltage, is = 3.8 30 N The hase current, N is, 30 N N 3.8 30 = = = 4.76 36. 035 9.303 + 6.035 N As the total load is taken as star-connected, the line and hase currents are same, in this case. The hase angle of the total imedance is ositive, with is value as φ = 6. 035. The ower factor is cos 6.035 = 0.9945 lag The total volt-ameres is S = 3 = 3 3.8 4.76 = 5. 688 ka The remaining stes are not given, as they are same as shown earlier. A N ersion EE T, Kharagur

The three voltages, as comuted, are equal in magnitude, and also at hase difference of 0 with each other in sequence. So, the three voltages can be termed as balanced ones. A simle examle (0.3) of a balanced delta-connected load is given in the following lesson The hase and line currents for a delta-connected balanced load, fed from a threehase suly, along with the total ower consumed, are discussed in this lesson.
