Best answer

For a balanced delta (Δ) connected load:

  • Voltage: each phase is connected directly between two lines, so VL = Vph.
  • Current: each line current is the phasor difference of two phase currents 120° apart: IL = √3 Iph, and the line currents lag the respective phase currents by 30°.
  • Power: \( P = 3V_{ph}I_{ph}\cos\phi = \sqrt3V_LI_L\cos\phi \) W; reactive power \( Q = \sqrt3V_LI_L\sin\phi \) VAR; apparent power \( S = \sqrt3V_LI_L \) VA, where φ is the angle between phase voltage and phase current (load impedance angle).
 I_L = I_R - I_B  (phasor) -> |I_L| = 2 I_ph cos30 = sqrt(3) I_ph
