So, we have:
But, as before, we can use
for the
leg currents.
You will notice Ic remained at
in
both cases. This is because Ica + Icb didn't change in either case.
Again, mathematics can be used to solve the line currents. Ignoring the displacement again, we can easily see Ia and Ib will be equal as far as the integer co-factor is concerned.
Using the law of cosines, we can obtain the formula:
or
In our case:
The balanced delta capacitor circuit and calculations are basic but still prove to be
time consuming. For the most part, angular displacement is not significant and there is no reason to go through the long
arduous task of finding the displacement just to obtain the resultant, or current. The formula
provides
the resultant we seek.
The same holds true on the unbalanced delta condition and can be easily handled with the
formula
