Once we knew any of the line voltage magnitudes and any of the line
current magnitudes, the angles for all three voltages and all three
currents could have been easily obtained by reading the diagram.

9.8 UnBalance three-phase System
An unbalanced system is due to unbalanced voltage
sources or an unbalanced load. Generally, the source
voltage is balanced, but the load is unbalanced.

Load currents are unbalanced, however,
they are independent , and do not

From the phasor diagram, we know that the voltage between the
neutral point of the source and the neutral of the load does not equal
zero , because of the absence of neutral line, and results in unbalanced
phase voltages.
Therefore, in the three-phase four-wire system, the neutral line has
large diameter, and it does not connect to the switch and fuse-element
Summary
The phase sequence is the order in which the phase voltages of a three-
phase generator occur with respect to time. In an abc sequence of balanced
source voltages, U an leads U bn by 120o,which in turn leads U cn by 120o. In an
acb sequence of balanced source voltages, U an leadsU cn by 120o,which in turn leads
