1. A two-phase generator is connected to two 90 Ω load resistors. Each coil generates 120 V ac. A common neutral line exists. How much current flows through the common neutral line?
2. A three-phase generator is connected to three 90 Ω load resistors. Each coil generates 120 V ac. A common neutral line exists. How much current flows through the common neutral line?
Correct Answer: phase current, the line current, and the load current are all equal in each phase
4. Compare the total copper cross sections in terms of current-carrying capacity for a single-phase and a three-phase 120 V system with effective load resistance of 15 Ω.
