Spin-up,

A question on Week 2 problem:

The 3-phase motor is fed from the 3-phase 4600V (phase-to-phase) generator via a 10:1 delta-wye transformer.

On primary side, the phase-to-phase voltage is 4600V --> on secondary side, the phase-to-neutral voltage is 460V.

Should the motor voltage equal to the phase-to-phase voltage of the secondary side of the transformer, which is 460V*sqrt(3) = 797V?
