The Phase Windings of an Alternator Are Connected in Wye

question 15

Multiple Choice

The phase windings of an alternator are connected in wye. The alternator produces a line voltage of 440V and supplies power to two resistive loads. One load contains resistors with a value of 4 ohm each, connected in wye. The second load contains resistors with a value of 6 ohm each, connected in delta. Both loads are connected directly to the output of the alternator. To determine the amount of line current needed for load 2, use the following formula: IL(Load 2) = IP(Load 2) x ____.

• A) 1.732
• B) 3
• C) 73.33
• D) 440
