Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #800 (Set 27)

Which of the following statements about a three-phase wye connected alternator is correct?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — The line voltage is 1.73 times the phase voltage.

In balanced three-phase wye (star) connected marine alternators, line voltage exceeds phase voltage by the square root of three (approximately 1.732), whereas line current equals phase current per standard electrical AC alternating current theory.
