 Lab 1- Part-1: Introduction to Three Phase Power System
Objectives:
Conduct an experiment:
 To learn measurements techniques on a three phase power system.
 To understand phase sequence.
Equipment required:

S.No Description Module No. Quantity

1 Three phase power supply EMS 8821 1

2 Data acquisition interface (DAI) EMS 9062 1
3 Computer system - 1

Discussion:
Three phase circuits are mostly symmetrical and have identical impedances in each branch.
Each branch can be treated exactly like a single phase circuit because a balanced three
phase circuit is simply a combination of three single phase circuits. Therefore voltage,
current and, power relationships for three phase circuits can be determined using the same
rules and methods developed for single phase circuits.

The phase sequence of the voltages or currents of three phase circuit is determined by the
order in which they follow each other.

 Positive sequence (ABC):

In this configuration phase ‘A’ leads phase B by 120 degree and phase B leads phase C by
120 degree.
 Negative sequence (ACB):
In this configuration phase ‘A’ leads phase C by 120 degree and phase C leads phase B by
120 degree.

Procedure:
CAUTION!
High voltages are present in this laboratory exercise! Do not make or modify any banana
jack connections with the power on unless otherwise specified!

 Install the power supply, Data Acquisition Interface (DAI) in the EMS workstation.
 Make sure that the main switch of the power supply is set to 0 (OFF) position and the
voltage control knob is turned fully CCW. Ensure the power supply is connected to a three-
phase wall receptacle.
 Ensure that the DAI LOW POWER INPUT is connected to the main power supply and
the USB port cable from the computer is connected to the DAI.
 Set the 24V – AC power switch to 1 (ON) position.
 Display the Metering application.
  Connect E1, E2 and, E3 to measure the line-to-neutral and then the line-to-line
variable voltages of the power supply.
 Make sure that power supply switch is at off position before making any changes to
connections.

Note: In this manual EPHASE is used to designate the line-to-neutral voltage, and E LINE the line-to-line
voltage.

1. Connect circuit as to measure the three phase (Line- Neutral) voltages as shown in figure
1.1. Turn on the three-phase power supply (EMS 8821) and adjust the voltage on the
terminal 4-5-6 to 220 phase voltages, Using the DAI voltmeter (E1, E2 and, E3), measure
the three phase voltages (terminal 4, 5 & 6 are defined as phases A, B and, C) and record
them in table 1.1.

DAI voltmeter (E1, E2 and, E3), measure the three line voltages (terminal 4, 5 & 6 are
defined as line A, B and, C) and record them in table 1.3.

9. Using the phasor analyzer and oscilloscope determine the phase angle of all the line-to-
line voltages. Record your data and construct a phasor diagram in phase analyzer as well
as in oscilloscope indicating all line voltages. Use the same connection diagram as
outlined in Figure 1.2 and fill table 1.4.

10. Does your data indicate the expected relationship between line-to-line and line-to-
neutral voltage magnitudes? Yes.

11. Is the source operating with positive or negative phase sequence?

______Positive______.

12. Does your phasor diagrams look like as you expect? State why or why not?
Ans. Phasor diagram looked like what I expected as the phase angle between the quantities
was 120 degrees.

13. Turn off the power supply and interchange the terminals 5 and 6 of figure 1.2 on power
supply. Adjust the voltage again to 220 phase voltage and now observe the phase
analyzer. See what is the phase sequence now? Comment
Ans. Phase A leads phase C by 120 degrees and phase C leads phase B by 120 degrees.
the source will be operating in negative sequence in this scenario.

14. Turn off the power supply and connect the wires according to Figure 1.3. Compare phase
voltage (VA-N or V4-N) with Line Voltage (VA-B or V4-5) using metering window and
phasor analyzer. _________________________________________________________

16. Based on your lab tasks, now draw a phasor diagram showing all the three phase and
three line voltages with V4-5 (VAB) as reference. Label each voltage with its name and
show its amplitude and phase angle in phasor diagram.
Conclusion:
From this lab we were able to learn basics three phase
circuits. We were able to connect the circuit and obtain
values for phase angles and voltages. We also confirmed the
relationship between phase voltage and line voltage after
measuring value for each of them. We also represented
different phase and line voltages on a phasor diagram.
