11 Balanced Three-Phase Circuits Assessment Problems AP 11.1 Make a sketch: We know VAN and wish to find VBC . To do this‚ write a KVL equation to find VAB ‚ and use the known phase angle relationship between VAB and VBC to find VBC . VAB = VAN + VNB = VAN − VBN Since VAN ‚ VBN ‚ and VCN form a balanced set‚ and VAN = 240/ − 30◦ V‚ and the phase sequence is positive‚ VBN = |VAN |//VAN − 120◦ = 240/ − 30◦ − 120◦ = 240/ − 150◦ V Then‚ VAB = VAN − VBN = (240/ − 30◦ ) − (240/ − 150◦ ) = 415.46/0◦ V
