Three-Phase Unbalanced Load

This document discusses three-phase unbalanced loads connected in delta and wye configurations. It provides equations to calculate phase currents, line currents, and total power for delta-connected loads with unequal impedances between phases. It also describes how to transform a wye-connected load into an equivalent delta circuit to solve for currents and power using delta calculations. Sample problems are given as examples.
