Answer: A and B. An equal amount of power and One-third of total power.
In a balanced three-phase load, each phase has an equal amount of power and that is equal to one-third of total power.
Solution
Total power in a three-phase circuit =3VphIphcos ∅ =3VIcos ∅
Source is always balanced; therefore, each phase voltage is equal in magnitude, and phase angle displacement is 120°.
VA=VB=VC=V
For a balanced load three-phase load each phase has =ZA=ZB=ZC=Z
Each phase current is
IA=IB=IC=V/Z
Each phase power is = VphIphcos ∅ = VIcos ∅ =1/3×Total power
