Question 1

A balanced Y-connected generator with terminal voltage $V_{b c}=480 \angle 90^{\circ}$ volts is connected to a balanced- $\Delta$ load whose impedance is $20 \angle 40^{\circ}$ ohms per phase. The line impedance between the source and load is $0.5 \angle 80^{\circ}$ ohm for each phase. The generator neutral is grounded through an impedance of $j 5 \mathrm{ohms}$. The generator sequence impedances are given by $Z_{g 0}=j 7, Z_{g 1}=j 15$, and $Z_{g 2}=j 10 \mathrm{ohms}$. Draw the sequence networks for this system and determine the sequence components of the line currents.
