What is a Three-Phase Circuit? It is a system produced by a generator consisting of three sources having the same amplitude and frequency but out of phase with each other by 120°.

Most of the electric power is generated and distributed in threephase. Operating frequency 50Hz (Europe) or 60Hz (US). The instantaneous power in a three-phase system can be constant (not pulsating!). For the same amount of power, the three-phase system is more economical that the single-phase. In fact, the amount of wire required for a three-phase system is less than that required for an equivalent single-phase system.

Van 20010 V Vbn 200 230 V Vcn 200 110 V We notice that Van leads Vcn by 120° and Vcn in turn leads Vbn by 120°. Hence, we have an acb sequence.

To calculate power in an unbalanced three-phase system requires that we find the power in each phase. The total power is not simply three times the power in one phase but the sum of the powers in the three phases. Michael E.Auer
