A wye-connected three-phase alternator supplies power to a delta-connected resistive load. The alternator has a line voltage of 480V. Each resistor of the delta load has 8 ohm of resistance. The load is connected directly to the alternator. Therefore, the line voltage supplied by the alternator is 160V.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The line voltage supplied by the alternator would be the same as the phase voltage since the load is delta-connected. Therefore, the line voltage would be 480V, not 160V.
