Answer:
Current, I = 4A
Explanation:
Since the connection is in delta, let's convert to star.
Simplify BCD:
[tex] R1 = \frac{40 * 8}{40 + 16 + 8} = \frac{320}{64} = 5 ohms [/tex]
[tex] R2 = \frac{16 * 8}{40 + 16 + 8} = \frac{128}{64} = 2 ohms [/tex]
[tex] R3 = \frac{40 * 16}{40 + 16 + 8} = \frac{640}{64} = 10 ohms [/tex]
From figure B, it can be seen that 6 ohms and 6 ohms are connected in parallel.
Simplify:
[tex] \frac{6 * 6}{6 + 6} = \frac{36}{12} = 3 \ohms [/tex]
Req = 10 ohms + 3 ohms
Req = 13 ohms
To find the current, use ohms law.
V = IR
Where, V = 52volts and I = 13 ohms
Solve for I,
[tex] I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{52}{13} = 4A[/tex]
Current, I = 4 A
