    If one fuse blows on a delta bank what happens to the line voltage on that phase

    • A.

      Goes to zero

    • B.

      Drops to 120

    • C.

      Reduces bank capacity

    • D.

      Remains at 240

    Correct Answer
    D. Remains at 240
    Explanation
    If one fuse blows on a delta bank, the line voltage on that phase will remain at 240. In a delta configuration, each phase is independent and has its own fuse. When one fuse blows, it only affects the specific phase associated with that fuse, while the other phases remain unaffected. Therefore, the line voltage on the remaining phases will remain at 240 volts.
