3. The circuit in Fig.3 is excited by a balanced three-phase source with a line voltage of
210 V. If Zl=1+j1 Ω, ZΔ=24-j30 Ω, and ZY=12+j5 Ω, determine the magnitude of the line
current of the combined loads.
4. A Δ-connected source supplies power to a Y-connected load in a three-phase balanced
system. Given that the line impedance is 2+ j1 Ω per phase while the load impedance is 6
+j4 Ω per phase, find the magnitude of the line voltage at the load. Assume the source
phase voltage Vab = 208 ∠0° Vrms.
5. Given the circuit in Fig. 4, find the total complex power absorbed by the load.

6. The following three parallel-connected three-phase loads are fed by a balanced three-
phase source:
Load 1: 250 kVA, 0.8 pf lagging
Load 2: 300 kVA, 0.95 pf leading
Load 3: 450 kVA, unity pf
If the line voltage is 13.8 kV, calculate the line current and the power factor of the source.
Assume that the line impedance is zero.
