4. Poly Phase Circuits
Learning Outcomes

5. AC Generation
Three things must be present in order to produce electrical current:
a) Magnetic field
b) Conductor
c) Relative motion
▪ Conductor cuts lines of magnetic flux, a voltage is induced in the conductor
Direction and Speed are important

6. What is 1 and 3 Phase?
• 1-Phase (voltage which appears between line to neutral is known as
phase voltage Range from 215-240 V) permissible limit 180V
• Wye or Star Connection
• 3-pahse (Voltage appears between any two lines is known as line
voltage line to line voltage the 3 phase voltage Range from 415-440 V
permissible limit 380V

18. Advantages and importance of three-phase systems
An AC generator designed to develop a single sinusoidal voltage for each rotation of the shaft (rotor)
is referred to as a single-phase AC generator.
If the number of coils on the rotor is increased in a specified manner, the result is a Polyphase AC
generator, which develops more power than one AC phase voltage per rotation of the rotor
In general, three-phase systems are preferred over single-phase systems for the transmission of
power for many reasons.
1. The instantaneous power in three-phase system can be constant (not pulsating as in a single phase
circuit).
2. For the same transmitted power, three-phase systems consume less wires.
3. The lighter lines are easier to install, and the supporting structures can be less massive and farther
apart.
4. In general, most larger motors are three phase because they are essentially self starting and do not
require a special design or additional starting circuitry.
For the above reasons, most of the power distribution systems in US and over the world, use three-
phase systems.
The first three-phase electrical system was patented in 1882 by John
Hopkinson - British physicist, electrical engineer, Fellow of the Royal Society.

22. WHY WE STUDY 3 PHASE SYSTEM ?
ALL electric power system in the world used 3-
phase system to
GENERATE, TRANSMIT and DISTRIBUTE
One phase, two phase, can be taken from
three phase system rather than generated
independently

27. What is Phase? What is Line?
The voltage appears between line to neutral is termed as phase voltage
The voltage appears between any two lines (phases) is Line voltage.
We have commonly two types of connection (to connect windings) either we connect in star or delta pattern.
Both connections have certain advantages as well as disadvantages

28. What is Balanced and Unbalanced 3 Phase System?
Unbalanced 3 Phase System
Each impedance of all phase are dislike for example the impedances are
(4+j2)ohm ,(6+j3)ohm and (8+j5)ohm (Single Phase loads at homes and
Offices)
Balanced 3 Phase System
Balance 3 Phase System each impedance having same value for
example (3+j3)ohm (3+j3)ohm and (3+j3)ohm (3 Phase Induction motor
used in industry)

32. Three Phase Generation
The three-phase generator has three induction coils placed 120° apart on the stator.
• The three coils have an equal number of turns, the voltage induced across each coil will have the
same peak value, shape and frequency. Internal impedance of a generator is usually inductive
(due to the use of coils).
