Alternate Wye Circuit with Same Current Draw

Three AC voltage sources excite three impedances as shown. In the "reference case", Z A = Z A 0 Z_A = Z_{A0} , Z B = Z B 0 Z_B = Z_{B0} , and Z C = Z C 0 Z_C = Z_{C0} . Find the values of Z A Z_A , Z B Z_B , and Z C Z_C which minimize the magnitude of neutral voltage V N V_N , subject to the following constraints:

1) Z A Z_A must be purely resistive (zero imaginary part)

2) The currents flowing through Z A Z_A , Z B Z_B , and Z C Z_C must be the same (in magnitude and phase angle) as those in the reference case

3) The real (resistive) parts of Z A Z_A , Z B Z_B , and Z C Z_C must not be negative

For this optimal configuration, what is the sum of the real (resistive) parts of Z A Z_A , Z B Z_B , and Z C Z_C ?

Details and Assumptions:

1) V A = 100 e j 0 V_A = 100 \, e^{j 0}
2) V B = 100 e j 2 π / 3 V_B = 100 \, e^{-j 2 \pi/3}
3) V C = 100 e j 2 π / 3 V_C = 100 \, e^{j 2 \pi/3}
4) Z A 0 = 1 + j 0 Z_{A0} = 1 + j 0
5) Z B 0 = 2 + j 1 Z_{B0} = 2 + j 1
6) Z C 0 = 3 j 2 Z_{C0} = 3 - j 2
7) j = 1 j = \sqrt{-1}


The answer is 5.212.
