EXPERIMENT NO. 1

BALANCED THREE-PHASE: VOLTAGE AND CURRENT RELATIONSHIP IN DELTA CONNECTION

OBJECTIVES:
1. To investigate current and voltage relations in 3-phase balanced delta
loads.
2. To demonstrate how to measure currents and voltages in three-
phase balanced delta system.

EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS:

1. Three phase transformer Trainer
2. Connecting wires (RYB) (12 AWG wire)
3. Connecting wires (20 AWG Stranded wire)
4. One (1) digital multimeter (DMM)
5. Three (3) pcs carbon resistors: 1000 , 1/2 W

PROCEDURE:
Note: High voltages are present in this experiment. Do not make any connections with the power supply ON. Get into
the habit of turning off the power supply after every measurement.

1. Secure a three-phase balanced source ranging from 220-240VAC.

2. Prepare all necessary materials needed for this experiment.

3. On the breadboard, arrange your resistors in delta connection.

4. Connect the voltage terminals of the circuit trainer using connecting wires. See Figure 1.

5. Connect the terminals of the delta-connected load to secondary voltage terminals A, B, and C of the trainer. See
figure 2.

6. Turn on the circuit trainer. Using the DMM & clamp ammeter, measure the phase and line values of voltages and
currents of the load. Record data on Table 1. Verify obtained values by computing for the phase and line values of
currents and voltages.
Note: Turn off power when making changes in the circuit or inserting/removing measuring instruments
7. Turn off the circuit trainer.
