5. A balanced delta-connected load consisting of a pure resistances of 18  per phase is in

parallel with a purely resistive balanced Y-connected load of 12 per phase as shown in Fig. 3.

The combination is connected to a three-phase balanced supply of 346.41-V rms (line-to-line) via

a three-phase line having an inductive reactance of j3 per phase. Taking the phase voltage Van

as reference, determine

(b) The line-to-neutral and the line-to-line voltage magnitudes of phase a at the combined load

terminals.
