CHAPTER 1
AC Circuits and
Power Systems
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Electrical power is generated, transmitted, distributed in sinusoidal form for the commercial, industrial and
domestic applications. In general, two types of electrical power can be generated: single-phase power and
poly-phase power. The main disadvantage of single-phase power supply is that it can carry only a reasonable
amount of power but poly-phase system is normally used to generate, transmit and distribute bulk electric
power. This chapter deals with the three-phase system, which is a type of poly-phase system. The generation
of three-phase electric power, the relationship between voltage and current, and their power measurements
are also discussed.
Further, the transmission and distribution of electric power, the necessity of protecting the power system
and operation of various protective devices like circuit breaker, fuse and relay are explained. Tariff refers
to the price of electrical energy that the consumer is charged for consumption. Tariff plays a major role
in maintaining a healthy relation between the supplier and consumer. Hence, due consideration has to be
given in fixing the tariff and the consumers must be charged with different tariffs, based on their usage. The
different objectives and characteristics of tariff, factors affecting the tariff, and different types of tariff are
discussed in this chapter. In an AC power system, power factor plays a major role in analysing the system
performance. If the power factor is low, heavy current will flow and damage the system. The causes of low
power factor, its consequences and the methods to improve the power factor are described in this chapter.

If any one of the alternating quantities is taken as a reference, the other two are delayed by one-third and
two-thirds of a cycle of the alternating quantity i.e., 120° apart. Therefore, three-phase power systems can
be viewed as the combination of three separate single-phase systems, with 120° phase difference.
● Neutral: The fourth wire in the three-phase system, where all the phases in a star connection are
phase power system is known as line voltage. It is represented as VRY , VYB and VBR and is given by
VRY , = VR – VY , VYB , = VY – VB and VBR = VB – VR respectively.
● Line currents: The currents flowing through a particular line are called line currents, represented by
I R , IY and I B .
● Phase current: The current flowing through a single-phase or a branch of the system is called as
load or line impedance and for a delta-connected load, the impedance between two lines is called
load or phase impedance.
● Phase sequence: The time order or the sequence in which the electrical quantity in the three-phase
system reach their respective maximum values is known as phase sequence. If the phase sequence of
a particular system is RYB, then it indicates that R phase reaches the maximum value of electrical
quantity at first and then followed by Y phase and B phase.
● Balanced condition: The condition for having a balanced source or a balanced load is given below.
(i) Balanced source: A three-phase system is said to be a balanced source, if the phase voltage of each
phase has the same magnitude and frequency and the phase difference between the lines is 120°.
(ii) Balanced load: A three-phase system is said to be a balanced load if the impedance is same for all
the phases, either in star or delta connection.
● Unbalanced condition: If the load impedance differs in one or more phases, then the three-phase
system is said to be an unbalanced load. This unbalanced condition leads to changes in line and phase
currents.
● Three-phase source: If the three-phase system is used to generate a three-phase power supply, then
● Power factor: The cosine of the angle between phase voltage and the phase current is known as power
factor. It can be lagging, leading or unity, depending upon the type of load connected to the system.
If the phase current lags behind the phase voltage, then it is a lagging power factor load. If the phase
current leads the phase voltage, then it is a leading power factor load. Similarly, if the phase current
is in phase with the phase voltage, then it is a unity power factor load.

VBN = |Vm | – + 120 or |Vm | – - 240 Ô˛

| I R| = 3 | I ph| (1.16)
Similarly, we get:

Hence, it can be concluded that in a delta-connected balanced three-phase source, the line current is 3

angle between the phase current and the line current is 30°.
