Additional Tutorial (3 Phase)

This document contains 10 practice problems related to analyzing electrical circuits with 3-phase power systems. The problems cover topics like calculating line and phase currents, power, power factor, and impedance for various star and delta connected loads. Sample calculations are provided for a balanced star connected load supplied by a 400V 3-phase source to find the line current, power factor, power, and total volt-amperes. Another problem determines the line voltages and phase sequence for a star connected alternator with given phase voltages.
