Hi...can anyone give the solution for complex addition.

20amps angle 0 deg
+20amps angle 120 deg
+20amps angle 240 deg.

I have converted this to Rectangular form(X+jY) and added. Once again this result is converted to Polar form( r angle theta).
I got ans=1.652 angle 23.4 deg

Because I can't see your work, I am not sure where you went wrong. Here is the solution, though.

polar 20A at 0deg = 20 + j0
polar 20A at 120deg = -10 + j10sqrt(3)
polar 20A at 240deg = -10 - j10sqrt(3)

Add them up and you get 0 + j0 = 0A

If you review the material here in the AAC ebook on complex numbers you should be able to clear up any confusion you may be experiencing.
