So, I am trying to really master symmetrical components and a lot of the problems on symmetrical components that I have seen basically have you find the line currents given unbalanced voltages at the source.
But can you use symmetrical components to find line currents in the following situation
Typical ABC, Wye Source - Wye Load system. Voltage is 480Vl-l / 277 Vl-n with all the appropriate 120 degree phase shifts between the phases. However, the loads are not balanced. Let's say 20 ohms for phase A-N, 30 ohms B-N, and 10 ohms C-N. All loads are purely resistive for simplicity's sake.
How would you use symmetrical components to determine the line currents in this unbalanced load situation?
Thanks.
