PURPOSE
The aim of the experiment is to make student get acquainted with three-phase
systems connections as well as power measurement in three-phase systems.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND THEORY

Generation, transmission and distribution of electricity via the National Grid
system is accomplished by three- phase alternating currents. The voltage induced
by a single coil when rotated in a uniform magnetic field is known as a single-
phase voltage. Most consumers are fed by means of a single-phase a.c. supply.

The power dissipated in a three-phase load is given by the sum of the power
dissipated in each phase. If a load is balanced then the total power P is given by:
P=3×power consumed by one phase.

EQUIPMENT
 Three-phase load (lighting or motor)
 380V three-phase ac power supply(delta load)
 220 V power source(star load)
 Voltmeters
 Ammeter
 Wattmeter
 Leads
 Connecting wires
 Load bank
 Power analyzer

METHOD
 Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram.

(Star load & Delta load).

 Using a variable supply to adjust the voltage until the supply voltage is 380V
for Star load.
 Measure the current, voltage and power and record them in table 1.1
provided.
 Repeat the test by connecting the Delta load and adjust the supply to 220V
for Delta load.
 Record the results on the table 1.2 provided.

PROCEDURE

 Firstly ensure that the power supply and the power analyzer are
switched off and the power supply voltage is at zero volts.
 Check the probes (connecting wires) and make sure that the wire is
not damaged or exposed.
 Make sure the three phase load (motor) is in a good working
condition.
 Do the connection of the star-connected load as specified in the
wiring list.
 If the connections are in perfect order, switch on the power supply
to 380 V ac.
 Switch on the power analyzer and read the required results such as
current (I1-I3), required voltages and power.
 Switch off the power supply when done.
 For delta connection, connect as specified in the wiring list.

OBSERVATIONS
The measured values the systems are different for DELTA and STAR. In the
star connection table 1, it shows that the powers are far different from one
another as observed in the table, however the three measured current are
closely related in they values, this is the same for the voltages, from the
results in table 1, it can be concluded that voltage 1 and voltage 2 are in
parallel to each other and current 1 and current 2 are in series with each
other. This is however similar to the delta connection in table 2, which
shows that voltage 1 and voltage 2 are in parallel and current 1 and current
3 are in series with each other.

CONCLUSION
The star connection yields different results as the delta connection if connected
using the same circuit and values, both have the same.
