Polyphase/Balanced Three-Phase Circuits

1- Program Options:
1- Wye-Gen., Wye Load
2- Delta-Gen., Delta Load
3- Wye-Gen, Delta Load
4- Delta-Gen., Wye Load
5- Clear all Input Vars
6- Back to Main Menu
7- Quit EE_Analysis

The variables used as INPUTS (Z1 to Z0) are Global and are dedicated to the variables below.
(Van=Z0, Vbn=Z1, Vcn=Z2, Zy=Z6, Zline=Z8. Vab=Z3, Vbc=Z4, Vca=Z5, Z∆=Z7.)

• All input values may be entered in mixed Polar or Rectangular form.

• The value θ1= 0, may appear in the printed result as θ1= 8.75E-11, due to DIGITS size.
• Z10 to Z24 are LOCAL variables and used in the calculation area only.
• In variables with double subscripts like ‘Van’, the subscript ‘a’ is the positive node and ‘n’
the negative.
• If the LOAD impedance is given as Henries and Farads, you can solve for XC and XL using
the Impedance calculator in Section 6- (Imp, Reson, Transient), Sub-section 5 or 6 without
leaving the program.
• Note also that I had to group the 3 sections above, since the Topic List can only use 1 …. 9
and A……. N to avoid key overlap, …….7 and Q use the same key.
• In section 3 ( + - * / ……A||B ), can be used to perform calculations, again without leaving
the program. A||B for example will solve two impedances in parallel. The result of any of
those operations is saved in Global variable Z9. Going back to the Polyphase program Z9
can be entered in any input boxes but most likely as Zy or Z∆.
• In the pages below I provided a sheet with the four circuits as a work sheet, followed with
four sheets containing examples for each circuits. Side A are examples without Zline
impedance, side B are examples with Zline impedance.
• Also included in this update is a bonus Polyphase spreadsheet App.
