Example 3: A 12.47kV feeder provides
service to an unbalanced delta-connected
load consuming the following power:
Phase ab: 1500 kVA, 0.95 lagging
Phase bc: 1000 kVA, 0.85 lagging
Phase ca: 950 kVA, 0.9 lagging
Give the following expressions:
a.The currents in each phase.
b. The matrix K, where K is defined in
the equation below.
Ia I ab
I K I
b bc
I c I ca

With line-line voltages given as 7200v, it is
easy to see that we can obtain the phase
4
currents using, for example, Iab=(Sab/Vab)*.
We will assume that Vab is the reference.

In fact, we can use the delta-Y
transformation to change Fig. 2 into Fig. 3.

Conclusion: Line currents into a delta or into
an ungrounded Y always sum to zero.
What about
Unbalanced currents into a grounded-Y?
Unbalanced line-to-line voltages?
