A step-down delta-star transformer, with per-phase turns ration of 5, is fed from a 3-phase, 1100 V, 50 Hz source. The secondary of this transformer through a 3-pulse type rectifier feeds a R load of 10 Ω. Find the maximum value of the load current (phase).

Correct Answer: √2 x 22 A
Vph = 1100/5 = 220 V (Transformer ratio = 5) Vmp = √2 x 220 V Imp = Vmp/R.
