Figure 6.10 (a) shows a phasor diagram for the phase voltages. For a Y-
connection, usually Van is taken as reference as shown in Figure 6.10 (b)
and the polar expression for the phasor voltages are as follows:
Van = Van0 o
Vbn = Vbn-120 o
Vcn = Vcn120o
ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY DFE2113
It can be shown that the magnitude of each line voltage is equal to 3 times
the magnitude of the phase voltage and that there is a phase angle of 30o
between each line voltage and the nearest phase voltage, i.e line voltage
leads phase voltage by 30o;

Figure 6.11: Phase diagram for the phase voltages and line voltages
Three coils each having a resistance of 10 Ohm and inductance of 0.02 H are
connected in star to a 3-phase, 50 Hz supply, the line voltage being 500 V.
Calculate (a) phase voltage and (b) line current
Solution:
Solution:
VL = V
With reference to figure 6.12, the phase voltage and the line voltage are Vab,
Vbc and Vca .
Vab: voltage across the line a and line b or voltage across the winding aa’
Vbc: voltage across the line b and line c or voltage across the winding bb’
Vca: voltage across the line c and line a or voltage across the winding cc’

It can be shown that the magnitude of each line current is equal to 3 times
the magnitude of the phase current and that there is a phase angle of 30o
between each line voltage and the nearest phase voltage, i.e line current
lags phase current by 30o;

Three phase load consists of three phase impedance in each phase; i.e
impedance in phase a (Za),
impedance in phase b (Zb),
impedance in phase c (Zc).
The magnitude and the phase angle of each impedances depend on the type of
load. Generally, three phase load can be divided into two types:
Figure 6.15 shows a Y and connected balanced load where Za=Zb=Zc and
za = zb = zc.
