INTRODUCTION
Single-Phase Systems:
• Single phase system consists of a generator connected through a pair of
wires (a transmission line) to a load.
• Vp is the rms magnitude of the source voltage.
• ϕ is the phase.
Single-phase two-wire system
10
INTRODUCTION
Single-Phase Systems:
• 3-wire system contains two identical sources (equal magnitude and
same phase) that are connected to two loads by two outer wires and
the neutral.
Single-phase three-wire system
11
INTRODUCTION
Polyphase Systems:
• Circuits or systems in which the AC sources operate at the same
frequency but different phases are known as polyphase.
• Examples:
• Two-phase systems.
• Three-phase systems, etc…
12
INTRODUCTION
Two-Phase Systems:
• It is produced by a generator consisting of two coils placed perpendicular
to each other so that the voltage generated by one lags the other by 90°.
Two-phase three-wire system
13
INTRODUCTION
Three-Phase Systems:
• It is produced by a generator consisting of three sources having the same
amplitude and frequency but out of phase with each other by 120°.

DISADVANTAGES OF THE SINGLE-PHASE SYSTEM
• Initial application of AC supply was for heating the filaments of electric
lamps. For this, single-phase system was perfectly satisfactory.
• Few years later, AC motors were developed, and it was found that for this
application the single-phase system was not very satisfactory.
• For example, single-phase induction motor is not self-starting unless it is
fitted with an auxiliary winding.
• The single-phase induction motor is not self-starting and has poor
efficiency and power factor than the corresponding three-phase machine.

ADVANTAGES OF THREE-PHASE SYSTEM
• Nearly, all electric power is generated and distributed in three-phase.
• When one-phase or two-phase inputs are required, they are taken from the
three-phase system rather than generated independently.
• Even when more than 3 phases are needed, they can be provided by
manipulating the available three phases.
Example: Aluminum industry, where 48 phases are required for melting
purposes.
17
ADVANTAGES OF THREE-PHASE SYSTEM
• The instantaneous power in a three-phase system can be constant (not
pulsating). This results in uniform power transmission and less vibration
of three-phase machines.
• For the same amount of power, the three-phase system is more
economical than the single-phase.
• The amount of wire required for a three-phase system is less than that
required for an equivalent single-phase system.
18
GENERATION OF BALANCED THREE-PHASE VOLTAGES
The generator basically consists of a
• Rotating magnet
(called the rotor).
• Stationary winding
(called the stator).
• Three separate windings or
coils with terminals a-a′, b-b′,
and c-c′ are physically placed
120° apart around the stator.
Three-phase generator
19
GENERATION OF BALANCED THREE-PHASE VOLTAGES
• As the rotor rotates, its magnetic field creates time-varying flux in the
three coils and induces voltages in the coils.
• Because the coils are placed
120°apart, the induced
voltages in the coils are
equal in magnitude but
out of phase by 120°.
The generated voltages are
120° apart from each other
20
BALANCED THREE-PHASE SYSTEM
• A typical three-phase system consists of three voltage sources connected
to loads by three or four wires (or transmission lines).
• The voltage sources can be either wye connected or delta-connected.
Y-connected source
Δ-connected source
21
BALANCED THREE-PHASE SYSTEM
• Phase voltages: voltages between lines a, b, and c and the neutral line n
(Van, Vbn, and Vcn).
• If the voltage sources have the same amplitude and frequency ω and are
out of phase with each other by 120°, the voltages are said to be balanced.
i.e.
Van  Vbn  Vcn  0
| Van || Vbn || Vcn |
Y-connected source
22
BALANCED THREE-PHASE SYSTEM
Phase Sequence:
• The phase sequence is the time order in which the voltages pass through
their respective maximum values.
1) abc sequence or positive sequence
2) acb sequence or negative sequence
Importance of Phase Sequence:
• It is important in three-phase power distribution because, it determines
the direction of the rotation of a motor connected to the power source.
23
BALANCED THREE-PHASE SYSTEM
abc Sequence or Positive Sequence:
• This sequence is produced when the rotor rotates
counterclockwise.
• Van leads Vbn, which in turn leads Vcn.
Van  V p 0
i.e.
Vbn  V p   120
Vcn  V p   240  V p   120

where Vp is the effective or rms value of the phase voltages.
24

Vbn  200 cos t  2300 
Vcn  200 cos t  1100 
Ans: The voltages can be expressed in phasor form as
Van  200100 ; Vbn  200  2300 ; Vcn  200  1100
We notice that Van leads Vcn by 120° and Vcn in turn leads Vbn by 120°.
Hence, we have an acb (negative) sequence.
Q2. Given that Vbn  22030 V , find Van and Vcn, assuming a positive (abc)
sequence.

Answer: 2201500 V, 220  900 V.

BALANCED THREE-PHASE SYSTEM
Possible Three-Phase Load Configurations:
• Depending on the end application, a three-phase load can be either
• Wye-connected (or)
• Delta-connected.
• A balanced load is one in which the phase impedances are equal in
magnitude and in phase.
• However, a wye- or delta-connected load is said to be unbalanced if the
phase impedances are not equal in magnitude or phase.

Possible Connections:
There exists four possible connections because, the three-phase source and
the three-phase load can be either Y or Δ-connected.
• Y-Y connection (i.e., Y-connected source with a Y-connected load).
• Y-Δ connection.
• Δ-Δ connection.
• Δ-Y connection.

• By lumping the impedances
together,

• Zs and Zl are often very small
compared with ZL, so one can
assume that ZY = ZL if no
source or line impedance is
given.

Assuming the positive sequence, the phase voltages (or line-to neutral
voltages) are,

The line-to-line voltages or simply line voltages

Thus, the magnitude of the line voltages is,

• The line current is the current in each line, the phase current is the current
in each phase of the source or load.

Balanced Wye-Delta Connection:
• A balanced Y-Δ system consists of a balanced Y- connected source
feeding a balanced Δ- connected load.
• This is perhaps the most practical three-phase system, as the three-phase
sources are usually Y-connected while the three-phase loads are usually
Δ-connected.
• It is to be noted that there is no neutral connection from source to load in
this system connection.

UNBALANCED THREE-PHASE SYSTEM
An unbalanced system is caused by two possible situations:
• The source voltages are not equal in magnitude and/or differ in phase by
angles that are unequal, or
• Load impedances are unequal.
Thus, an unbalanced system is due to unbalanced voltage sources or an
unbalanced load.
• Unbalanced three-phase systems are solved by direct application of mesh
and nodal analysis.
63
UNBALANCED THREE-PHASE SYSTEM
• To simplify analysis, balanced source
voltages, but an unbalanced load is
considered.
• Since the load is unbalanced, ZA, ZB,

• The set of unbalanced line currents produces current in
the neutral line, which is not zero as in a balanced
system.
• Applying KCL at node N gives the neutral line current
as,
I n    I a  Ib  Ic 
• In a three-wire system where the neutral line is absent, one can still find
the line currents Ia, Ib, and Ic using mesh analysis. At node N, KCL must
be satisfied so that Ia+Ib+Ic = 0.
• The same could be done for an unbalanced Δ-Y, Y-Δ, or Δ-Δ three-wire
system.
