Which of the following statements about a three-phase wye connected alternator is correct?
AI Explanation
You are correct, the answer A) The line voltage is 1.73 times the phase voltage is the correct statement about a three-phase wye connected alternator.
In a three-phase wye connected system, the relationship between the line voltage and phase voltage is given by the square root of 3, which is approximately 1.73. This means that the line voltage is 1.73 times the phase voltage.
The other options are incorrect because:
B) The phase current is 1.73 times the line current is false, as the line current and phase current are equal in a wye connected system.
C) The phase voltage is 1.73 times the line voltage is the inverse of the correct statement.
D) The line current is 1.73 times the phase current is false, as the line current and phase current are equal in a wye connected system.
