 Lab 1- Part-1: Introduction to Three Phase Power System
Objectives:
Conduct an experiment:
 To learn measurements techniques on a three phase power system.
 To understand phase sequence.

Discussion:

Three phase circuits are mostly symmetrical and have identical impedances in each
branch. Each branch can be treated exactly like a single phase circuit because a
balanced three phase circuit is simply a combination of three single phase circuits.
Therefore voltage, current and, power relationships for three phase circuits can be
determined using the same rules and methods developed for single phase circuits.

The phase sequence of the voltages or currents of three phase circuit is determined
by the order in which they follow each other.

 Positive sequence (ABC):

In this configuration phase ‘A’ leads phase B by 120 degree and phase B leads
phase C by 120 degree.

 Negative sequence (ACB):

In this configuration phase ‘A’ leads phase C by 120 degree and phase C leads
phase B by 120 degree.

LAB TASKS

Turn on the three-phase power supply (EMS 8821) and adjust the voltage on the
terminal 4-5-6 to 220 phase voltage.

Using the DAI voltmeter(E1, E2 and, E3), measure the three phase and line voltages
(terminal 4, 5 & 6 are defined as phases A, B and, C).

Turn off the power supply and connect the wires according to Figure 1.3. Compare
phase voltage (VA-N or V4-N) with Line Voltage (VA-B or V4-5) using metering
window and phasor analyzer.

2. Does your data indicate the expected relationship between line-to-line

and line-to-neutral voltage magnitudes? YES.

3. Using A-phase line-to-neutral voltage as reference, determine the

phase B & C line-to-neutral phase angle with the phasor analyzer and
oscilloscope. Use the same connection diagram as outlined in Figure
1.1 and fill table 1.2.

4. Is the source operating with positive or negative phase sequence?

POSITIVE .

5. Using the phasor analyzer and oscilloscope determine the phase angle
of all the line-to-line voltages. Record your data and construct a phasor
diagram in phasor analyzer as well as show the output in oscilloscope
indicating all phase line voltages. Use the same connection diagram as
outlined in Figure 1.2 and fill table 1.3.

Conclusion:
In this lab we revised our concepts of three phase electricity basics
which is a very important for power distribution. In this way electricity is provided to
industries requiring high voltages to run heavy equipment while also needing lower
voltages to run less demanding appliances. While these Voltages vary a little bit from
region to region due to different regulations as well as line losses.
