Basic AC Power THREE-PHASE CIRCUITSAs you can see, the total power formulas forFigure 13 3f Power Triangledelta- and wye-connected loads are identical.Total apparent power (ST) in volt-amperes andtotal reactive power (QT) in volt-amperes-reactiveare related to total real power (PT) in watts(Figure 13).A balanced three-phase load has the real,apparent, and reactive powers given by:PT3 VTILcosqST3 VTILQT3 VTILsinqExample 1: Each phase of a delta-Figure 14 Three-Phase Delta Generatorconnected 3fAC generatorsupplies a full load current of 200A at 440 volts with a 0.6 laggingpower factor, as shown in Figure14.Find: 1.
