Three Phase Circuits, Balanced Y-Y, Y-, and
- Three-Phase Circuits
Polyphase Circuits
Polyphase circuits contain multiple sources at the same
frequency but different phases. Power is distributed
over the power grid in the form of three-phase
sinusoids.
Advantages of Three-Phase power distribution include:
(Constant Power) Instantaneous power can be constant in a
three phase system.
(More Economical) For equivalent power, the 3-Phase systems
are more economical than single-phase (can be driven with
lower currents and voltages, and fewer wires required because
of a common neutral connection between the phases).
(Flexible) Single phase service can be extracted from the 3phase systems or phases manipulated to create additional
phases.
Balanced 3-Phase Voltages
Balanced phase voltage are equal in magnitude and separate by 120
degrees in phase.
Voltages generated from a 3-phase generator can have 2 phase
sequence possibilities depending on direction of the rotor:
Positive sequence (Counter Clockwise Rotation):
Vˆan V p 0
Vˆbn V p 120
Vˆcn V p 240 V p 120
Negative sequence (Clockwise Rotation):
Vˆan V p 0
Vˆbn V p 240 V p 120
Vˆcn V p 120
Show that the sum of all phase voltages in a balanced system is zero.
Single and 3-Phase Circuit Comparison
Consider the phase voltages of equal amplitude
Vˆp Vˆan Vˆbn Vˆcn
Show that the line voltages are given by:
Vˆab Vˆac Vˆbc 3 Vˆp
In general:
Vˆab 3V p 30
Vˆbc 3V p 90
Vˆca 3V p 210

Balanced 3-Phase Voltage Connections
There are 2 ways to connect a Balanced set of sources:
Y (wye)-Connected
(delta)-Connected
Balanced Loads
Balanced loads are equal in magnitude and phase.

Show that for equivalent loads Z = 3ZY
Load-Source Connections
There are 4 possible ways balanced sources and loads can be
connected:
Y
Source to Y Load (Y-Y)
Source to Load (-)
Y Source to Load (Y-)
Source to Y Load (-Y)
If not specified, the voltages on the sources will be assumed
to be in RMS values.
Balanced Y-Y Connection
The complete Y-Y connection is shown below with impedances listed
separately for the source (subscript s), line (subscript l), and load
(subscript L).

For a positive sequence with
Vˆ an V p 0, it can be shown that
Vˆab 3V p 30
Vˆbc 3V p 90
Vˆca 3V p 210
Balanced Y-Y Connection
Show that the current in each phase can be expressed as:
ˆ
ˆI Van ,
Iˆb Iˆa 120,
Iˆc Iˆa 240 ,

and that Iˆa Iˆb Iˆc Iˆn 0

Because of the symmetry
of a balanced 3 phase
system, the neutral
connection can be dropped
and the system analyzed
on a per phase basis. In a
Y-Y connected system, the
phase (source or load) and
line currents are the same.
Balanced Y- Connection
In this case the line voltages are directly across each load. It can be shown
that:

and the load currents and phase currents are related by:

can be converted to a Yconnected load through:

Power in Balanced System
Show that the instantaneous power absorbed by a load in a balanced
Y-Y system is a constant given by:
p(t ) 3V p I p cos( )
where the impedance in a single phase is given by:
ZˆY Z
The complex power per phase is
S V p I p exp( j )
Note that average power or real power is the same as the
instantaneous power for the 3-phase system.
