What is Three-Phase Power?
• Three sinusoidal voltages of equal
amplitude and frequency out of phase with
each other by 120°. Known as “balanced”.
• Phases are labeled A, B, and C.
• Phases are sequenced as A, B, C
(positive) or A, C, B (negative).

Definitions
• 4 wires
– 3 “active” phases, A, B, C
– 1 “ground”, or “neutral”
• Color Code
– Phase A
– Phase B
– Phase C
– Neutral

Three-Phase Generator
• 2-pole (North-South)
rotor turned by a
“prime mover”
• Sinusoidal voltages
are induced in each
stator winding

How are the sources connected?
• (a) shows the sources
(phases) connected in
a wye (Y).
– Notice the fourth
terminal, known as
Neutral.
• (b) shows the sources
(phases) connected in
a delta (∆).
– Three terminals

Definitions
• Zg represents the internal
generator impedance per
phase
• Zl represents the
impedance of the line
connecting the generator
to the load
• ZA,B,C represents the load
impedance per phase
• Zo represents the
impedance of the neutral
conductor

Using the Tip-to-Tail Method
-VBN
VΦ = Line-to-Neutral,
or Phase Voltage
VAB = VAN – VBN = √3VΦ

Conclusions for the Y connection
• The amplitude of the line-to-line voltage is
equal to √3 times the amplitude of the
phase voltage.
• The line-to-line voltages form a balanced
set of 3-phase voltages.
• The set of line-to-line voltages leads the
set of line-to-neutral (phase) voltages by
30°.
