SOLUTION TO PROBLEM-1:
i)
Vii)
For single Phase equivalent we must use Zy instead of Zdel..
Zy=Zdel/3=16.667+11.667j
So,L=11.667/(2pi*50)=.03714H.
V1=220<0
V2=220<-120
V3=220<120 in the diagram drawn below:
Also,I didn’t consider the 2nd neural put on the load,as it will make
the neural line impedance shorted and current through it will be
zero.According to rule of +ve sequence anticlockwise rotation of
phase will take place.So,In a positive sequence system,
Van leads Vbn, which leads Vcn.So:
Van leads Vbn by 120°.
Vbn leads Vcn by 120°.
Here,I(R1)=Ia,I(R4)=Ib,I(R3)=Ic,I(R2)=In.
Peak value of
Ia=3.81 A,
Ib=3.54A,
Ic=3.07 A,
In=3.1A.
This may appear to violate In=-(Ia+Ib+Ic) formula,But KCL rule is
applied in phasor.So,taking that into consideration,KCL is verfied in
neutral node.Also,there is very slight decimal variations due to
pspice not plotting the peak point perfectly due to slightly large
print step in transient setup.

Power loss in line a:
C)
Power factor of load a:
Pf of load a=cos(360*50*(88.238-85.738)*10^-3)=0.7071(lagging)
Power factor of load b:
Pf of load b=cos(360*50*(73.227-72.597)*10^-3)=0.9805(lagging)
D)
Power absorbed by load-a:
Discussion:
The experiment offered valuable insights into the functioning of both
balanced and unbalanced three-phase circuits. By simulating and
analyzing these circuits, we gained a deeper understanding of the
relationships between line and phase voltages and currents in Y-Delta
configurations. We also explored critical power parameters—real,
reactive, and apparent power—while learning how to calculate them
and visualize their interactions using phasor diagrams and power
waveforms.
A key takeaway was the impact of power factor on system performance.
A poor power factor increases the current, resulting in energy
inefficiencies and greater power losses. However, by implementing
power factor correction methods, such as introducing capacitors, we
were able to balance reactive power and significantly enhance overall
system efficiency. This improved voltage stability, reduced losses, and
optimized energy management.
The experiment also highlighted the complexities of unbalanced loads,
where we practiced calculating neutral currents and observed their
effects on power losses. Simulation tools like PSpice, alongside
theoretical calculations, played a crucial role in modeling and verifying
circuit behaviors, offering a practical platform to enhance our
understanding of three-phase power systems. Ultimately, this
experience underscored the importance of both power factor correction
and simulation tools in designing and optimizing electrical systems for
better performance.
