🔍 Key Concepts

• Identify whether figure "A" shows a wye (star) or delta stator connection based on the presence of a neutral point. • Recall how line current and phase current relate in a wye connection versus a delta connection. • Remember that the factor 1.73 represents √3, which appears in three‑phase circuit relationships.

💭 Think About

• Does figure "A" show each phase winding connected to a common neutral point, or are the windings connected end‑to‑end in a closed loop? What type of connection is that? • In that specific type of connection, which quantity is the same in each line and each phase: the current or the voltage? • For the configuration in figure "A", should the line current be larger than, smaller than, or equal to the phase current?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm from the diagram that figure "A" includes a neutral point with three windings meeting there. • Match that configuration to the correct three‑phase relationship: in a wye connection, decide whether I_line = I_phase or I_line = √3 × I_phase. • Eliminate any option that suggests no relationship between line and phase current, since standard three‑phase connections always have a defined relationship.
