Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a delta-connected three-phase system, line current is higher than phase current by a factor of 1.732 (square root of 3). This is because in delta connection, the current flows through the windings of the transformer or motor directly without utilizing a neutral wire, resulting in a higher current flow.
