Question 4.
The voltages given in question 3 are applied to a balanced Y load consisting of (12+j16) ohms per phase. The load neutral is solidly grounded. Draw the sequence networks and calculate I0, I1, and I2, the sequence components of the line currents. Then calculate the line currents Ia, Ib, and Ic from the sequence components, and compare with the line currents calculated directly from the network equations.
