Correct answer: A, D
- Given phase voltages
The instantaneous voltages are
These are three sinusoidal voltages of equal amplitude , separated by phase difference .
- Voltage between terminals and
The instantaneous potential difference is So,
Use the identity
Let Then Since we get
Thus the amplitude of is Hence its rms value is
So Option A is correct.
- Voltage between terminals and
Similarly, Since and also have the same amplitude and phase difference , the result must be the same magnitude.
Let us verify: Again, the difference of two equal-amplitude sinusoids separated by has amplitude Therefore,
So Option B is incorrect.
- Check Option C
Option C says But we found Hence Option C is incorrect.
- Check dependence on terminal choice
The three voltages form a balanced three-phase system. The rms line voltage between any two terminals is the same:
Therefore the reading is independent of the choice of the two terminals.
So Option D is correct.
- Final answer
Correct options are:
This matches the stored correct answer.
