The video focuses on teaching the calculation of electrical parameters in star and delta-connected loads using a worksheet. Key points include the computation of phase voltage, phase current, and line current for different configurations using Ohm’s law and other electrical principles. The calculations involve a 415-volt supply for star-connected loads with resistances of 25 ohms, yielding a phase current of 9.58 amperes and a line current also of 9.58 amperes. For delta-connected loads, the phase voltage equals the line voltage (415 volts), resulting in a higher phase current of 16.6 amperes and a line current of 28.75 amperes.
Additionally, the video discusses scenarios with a 400-volt supply and 50-ohm resistors, showing that in a star configuration, the phase current is 4.618 amperes and in delta, the phase current is 8 amperes with a line current of 13.86 amperes. Similarly, for a 440-volt supply with 220-ohm resistors, the star configuration results in a phase current of 1.15 amperes, whereas in delta, the phase current is 2 amperes with a line current of 3.46 amperes.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains how to calculate the phase voltage and phase current in a star-connected electrical load. They start with the formula for phase voltage (line voltage divided by the square root of three) and perform the calculation using a line voltage of 415 volts, resulting in a phase voltage of 239.6 volts.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains the calculation of currents and voltages in star and delta connected loads. Specifically, they discuss how in a star-connected load, the line current (I_L) is equal to the phase current (I_P), which simplifies the calculation to find the current as 9.58 amperes. They then move on to a worksheet question involving a delta-connected load with resistors of 25 ohms connected to a 415-volt supply. The objective is to calculate the phase voltage (V_P), line current, and phase current. They start by identifying known values: the line voltage (V_L) is 415 volts, and the resistors are 25 ohms each.

In this segment, the video explains how connecting the same load in star and delta configurations affects the current in the system, specifically, that the current in a delta connection is three times higher than in a star connection. The speaker then addresses a specific problem from a worksheet involving three identical 50-ohm resistive loads connected in a star configuration to a 400-volt supply. The given values are a resistance of 50 ohms and a line voltage of 400 volts. To find the phase voltage, they divide the line voltage by the square root of three, resulting in approximately 230.9 volts.

In this segment of the video, the speaker is explaining how to calculate various electrical parameters for different load configurations. Initially, the current through a star-connected load is discussed, with the line current being equal to the phase current at 4.618 amps. The speaker then moves on to a delta-connected load with a 50-ohm resistor connected to a 400-volt supply. It is emphasized that in a delta connection, the phase voltage equals the line voltage, which is 400 volts. Using Ohm’s law, the phase current is calculated to be 8 amps (400V/50Ω). Next, the calculation of the line current is hinted at, suggesting familiarity with results from a previous example.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains the relationship between phase current and line current in a three-phase electrical system. The line current is calculated by multiplying the phase current (given as 8 A) by the square root of 3, resulting in approximately 13.86 A. The speaker then addresses a problem involving three identical resistive loads of 220 ohms connected in a star configuration to a 440-volt supply. To solve this, the phase voltage is determined by dividing the line voltage (440 V) by the square root of 3, yielding approximately 254 volts. This phase voltage is essential for calculating the phase current, as the current through the load depends on the voltage across it.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains how to calculate the phase current using Ohm’s Law by dividing the phase voltage (254V) by the resistance (220 ohms), resulting in a phase current of 1.15 amperes. This phase current is then used to determine the line current in a star-connected system, which is also 1.15 amperes, as line and phase currents are the same in such a system.
The speaker then transitions to question 6, where the same load (220 ohms) is now connected in a Delta configuration to a 440V supply. They note the importance of recording known values and structuring calculations neatly for clarity. To start, they calculate the phase voltage in a Delta system, which equals the line voltage of 440V. Next, they prepare to calculate the phase current again using Ohm’s Law, emphasizing that the phase current depends on the phase voltage applied to the load.

By multiplying the phase current (2 amperes) by the square root of 3, the line current is calculated to be approximately 3.46 amperes.
