Three phase ac circuits

Generation of 3-phase supply voltages

Advantages of three-phase system
Some definitions
Interconnection of phases

Disadvantage
Six conductors are required to transmit and
distribute power, which makes the system
complicated and expensive.

Non-interlinked three-phase system

1. The line A to neutral voltage is 10∟150 for a balanced three phase star –connected
load with phase sequence ABC. The voltage of line B with respect to line C is given
by

Solution: 10√3 ∟-750

2.
3. Calculate the line currents in the three-wire Y-Y system

Solution:

Since given system is

balanced with positive
phase sequence (abc),
we can apply Per
phase analysis or
Single phase analysis:

Impedance,

Line currents,
BALANCED DELTA CONNECTED LOAD
BALANCED Y to D AND D to Y CONVERSIONS

Any balanced star-connected system can be converted into the equivalent delta-
connected system and vice versa.

Balanced star-connected load, Balanced Delta-connected load

RELATION BETWEEN POWER IN DELTA AND
STAR SYSTEMS
Let a balanced load be connected in star having impedance per phase as Zph.

For a star-connected load, Balanced Delta-connected load
