Question

Figure 12-18  A delta-connected alternator is connected to a wye-connected resistive load. The alternator produces a line voltage of 240 V and the resistors have a value of 6 ohms each. Find the specified values:
-EP(Alt) = ____ V.
A) 60 
B) 120 
C) 240 
D) 480

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The line voltage of the alternator is given as 240 V, which is the same as the phase voltage in a wye connection. Therefore, EP(Alt) = 240 V.
