. The line-to-line voltages of a three phase system are Vis = 200, Vas = 150, dan Ve,
120 volts. Write the polar expressions for Vyp, Vie, dan Voz with respect to V3 as
reference for both phase sequences.
. Refer to Fig 2. In a particular case measurements yield V2s= 140, Vse= 120, dan Vos =
150, Vier = 200, Vig = 200, Vin =
0, and Vx = 104.2 volts. Draw the qualitative phasor
diagram of the voltages for sequence abc, and determine analytically the complex
expressions for each of the currents with respect to V2. ~ as a reference.
. Calculate the line currents in Prooblem 16 by the loop-current method.
Refer to example 13, page 402-403, including Fig, 26. Solve for Iy, Ip, and I; by the
loop-current method, neglecting the resistive components of ail branch impedances for
a voltage sequence Eyy-E,-Eq) (Resutls may be left in the form of the ratio of two
matrices.)
In Fig. 32, Zap = Las =
0,01 henry and the coefficient of coupling is 0.5. Assume no
resistance or inductances except as indicated driving voltages is n’a’-n'b'-n'c’, and
Ey’ = 57.7/90 volts. For @ = 1000 radians per seconds calculate the line and phase
currents for the load. Use Maxwell’s cyclic-current method.

resistance is inserted in each line to the load and the same sequence and reference as
specified in Problem 35 are employed. For uniformity in checking results, use loop
currents as follows:
