    POLYPHASE CIRCUITS

    244. A three-phase, star-connected system has 400 V between


    wires. Estimate the voltage between each wire and the neutral point.
    [Ana. 231 V]

    245. A three-phase rectifier is connected to a three-phase trans-


    former giving 460 V maximum between each line and the neutral
    point, and a current flows between the neutral point and the common
    cathode of the rectifier. Assuming no overlap, estimate the average
    voltage on the d.c. side if the drop in voltage in the rectifier is 15 V.
    [Ana. 365 V]

    246. Show that the star and mesh circuits illustrated are equivalent
    if the following conditions hold:
    Ya = YZ Y3 /(Y1 + Yz + Y3 )
    Yb = Y1 Y3 /(Y1 + Yz + Y3 )
    and Yc = Y1 Yz/( Y1 + Yz + Y3 )

    247. From a three-phase, star-connected synchronous generator


    the line current is lOA. If the machine was delta-connected, find the
    current in each of its phases if the line current remains the same as
    before.

    PROBLEMS 248-253 65
    248. Three similar coils, each of resistance 10 0 and reactance
    10 0, are connected (a) in star, (b) in delta across a 400-V, three-
    phase supply. Find, in each case, the line current and the sum of the
    relldiftgg of tW6 wAttmeters connected to measure the power.
    [Ans. (a) 16'33 A; 8000 W;
    (b) 48·97 A; 24 000 W]

    249. Three 20-0 non-inductive resistors are connected in star


    across a three-phase supply the line voltage of which is 480 V.
    Three other equal non-inductive resistors are connected in delta
    so· as to take the same line current. What are the resistance values
    of these other resistors and what is the current flowing through each
    of them?
    [Ans. 60 Q; 8 A]

    250. In a two-phase, three-wire system the two phases are un-


    equally loaded. The current in the leading phase is 47 A in phase
    with its own voltage. The current in the lagging phase is 39 A and
    lags 22° 36' behind its own voltage. Estimate the magnitude of the
    current in the common return and find the phase angle between it
    and the 47 A current.
    [Ans. 48·17 A; 48° 22']

    251. A two-phase synchronous generator has a terminal voltage of


    220 V to the neutral. The leading phase is loaded with a resistor of
    11 n, the other with a coil of resistance 5 n and reactance 4 n.
    If the connections are according to the three-wire system, calculate
    the magnitUde, of the current in the common return and the phase-
    angle difference between this current and the voltage of the lagging
    phase.
    [Ans. 26·87 A; 3° 6']

    252. If two sets of coils with laminated iron cores are arranged
    perpendicularly to one another and are connected respectively to
    the two phases of a two-phase circuit, show that a rotating field is
    produced.

    253. Show that three-phase currents can be applied to the pro-


    duction of a rotating field by using three coils exciting pole pieces
    placed at 120° to each other. Prove that the field rotates at constant
    speed and has a constant magnitude.
