Three-Phase Circuits
13.1 Introduction
Ø What we have learned…
Three-phase circuits
Important concepts:
Ø lines: a, b and c
Ø neutral line: n
Ø phase voltages:
The three phase voltages are having the same amplitude and frequency
but out of phase with each other by ,-(∘ .
Ø phase sequence
0→2→3
"/ = * "0
The three line voltages are having the same amplitude and frequency
but out of phase with each other by 12,∘ .

13.3 Balanced And Unbalanced Load

!' = !( = !) = !*
Both the three-phase source and three-phase load can be either wye-
or delta- connected, we have four possible connections:
• ! − 3 #$%%&#'($%
• 3 − 3 #$%%&#'($%
• 3 − ! #$%%&#'($%
