3 Phase Circuits

The document explains balanced three-phase circuits, detailing the characteristics of positive and negative sequences, and the relationships between line and phase voltages and currents in star and delta connections. It highlights that in a star connection, line voltages are three times the phase voltage and equal line and phase currents, while in a delta connection, line currents are three times the phase current. Additionally, it provides formulas for calculating power, reactive power, and apparent power in a balanced three-phase system.

Three Phase Circuits

Balanced three phase system


A system in which all three voltage have equal voltage magnitude and are
phase displaced by 120 degree with respect to each other.

Positive Sequence (abc)


Negative Sequence (acb)

Van  VP00

Vcn  VP  1200

Vbn  VP  2400  VP1200

For both phase sequence,


Van  Vbn  Vcn

Connections
Star Connection

VL  3VP 300
IL  Ip
Vab = line to line voltage or line voltage

Vab  Van  Vbn  3VP 300


So, line voltage Vab , Vbc , Vca are 3 times the phase voltage & lead the respective phase voltage

by 30 0 .

Line currents Ia , Ib , Ic in this connection are equal to phase currents.

Phase current are the currents that flow in individual phases.


Delta Connection

VL  VP
IL  3IP   300

Line current is 3 times phase current & lags respective phase current by 30 0 .

Power in a balanced 3   system

P  3VL IL cos   3VP IP cos 


Q  3VL IL sin   3VP IP sin 
S  3VL IL *  3VP IP*
For power measurement, refer to electrical measurements k-notes, two wattmeter method.
