I will try and make this as simplified as possible.

The secondary side of transfomers are connected in star - which means there is a neutral / earth connection. If you measure between a LINE to LINE ('line voltage') voltage you will measure 400V, but now we have introduced the neutral / earth and we measure between LINE to NEUTRAL ('phase voltage) 's LINE to EARTH we will get 230 V.

The reason for this is that, because the phase voltages are displaced, in time, by 120 electrical degrees, you must add them vectorially to obtain the line voltage. And the vectorial sum of two 230-V phase voltages, displaced by 120 degrees, is 400 V -or 1.732 times either of the phase voltages.

Should a 3 phase motor run on star or delta?

It does not matter to the motor, just as long as the three phase voltage is what the motor specification requires. HOWEVER..... While the motor will run in either star or delta, it will draw 3 times as much current in delta as it does in star, and will develop 3 times more torque (and power) in delta compared to star. 3 phase motors are often started in star, as it draws less current and is less likely to blow fuses, damage contacts and upset the supply system due to voltage drops. When the motor is near full speed, the motor is switched to delta connection for full power. This is called star-delta starting, and is suitable for light, low inertia loads such as fans or pumps. Because of the motor's reduced startup torque, it shouldn't be used for compressors, machines with heavy flywheels, or machines that come onto load before they reach full speed. Motors designed for star-delta starting will have 6 live terminals in their connection box. Let's get a little bit technical. In star, each winding has L-N voltage across it (about 58% of the L-L voltage applied when in delta) - in Australia, our voltage from the active (live wire) to the neutral (return wire) is 230 volts, and the voltage from one active to another active is 400 volts. (230 / 400 is about 0.58, or 58%. and 400 / 230 is 1.73 or 173%). Connecting a motor in star puts 230 volts across each winding, and connects ONE winding to each supply phase. when running, it draws (say) 10 amps, and develops about 6 kW / 8HP. In delta, each winding has 400 volts across it, and each supply line powers 2 windings, so the current increases by 1.73 (400 volts compared to 230 volts) and again by 1.73 (2 windings on a 3 phase system draw 1.73 times more current than one winding.) 1.73 squared is 3 - so in delta, the motor draws 3 times more current (30 amps), and delivers 3 times more power (18kW / 24HP). Some motors are designed to be operated ONLY in star - they may have a label advising you of this, or they may have only one value of voltage and current on the nameplate. They will also usually have only 3 terminals inside the connection box. If you suspect that the motor is 'star only', but want to make sure, connect the motor in delta, and check the running current as soon as the motor is up to speed; if it is drawing more than the nameplate current, or the motor is noisy in delta, but not in star, stop the motor immediately and reconnect it in star, or the motor WILL burn out very quickly.


How do you write a looping program to check whether input is a buzz number or not?

Buzz numbers are aircraft identification numbers that were applied to American aircraft following the second world war and through the 1960's. To determine if an input is a buzz number or not, the input must consist of a two- or three-letter manufacturing code and a 3-digit number, separated by a hyphen. The digits are generally the last three digits of the aircraft serial number. Validating the manufacturing code is relatively simple given there were only 173 issued. However, validating the three-digit code would be impossible without a complete list of all aircraft that were assigned a buzz number. If such a list exists, storing them in sequential order would allow your program to perform a fast binary search to determine if the input were valid or not. In the absence of such a list, the manufacturing code alone would at least tell you which type of aircraft the buzz number (if valid) would have applied to.

A 100 amp 3 phase power supply is good for how many total amps?

100 amps to a 3 phase load. Power = 100A x Voltage x 1.73 ((line to line voltage)(1.73=SQRT(3)). 173 amps to each of 3 single phase (line to line) loads. Power = 173A x Voltage (line to line voltage). or... 100 amps to each of 3 single phase (line to neutral) load. Power = 300A x Voltage (line to neutral voltage). Example: - 3 phase, 480v, 100amp to a 3 phase heater. 100A x 480V x 1.73 = 83040 watts. - 3 single phase 480v (L-L voltage) heaters, 100amp. 173A x 480V = 83040 watts. - 3 single phase 277v (L-N voltage) heaters, 100amp. 300A x 277V = 83100 watts.


Can use 400VAC 3-Ph industrial socket on 230VAC 3-pH supply?

The common European supply voltage is 400 v three-phase. That is the voltage between live lines, and there is 230 v between neutral and each live line. A 230v three-phase supply would have 173 volts from live to neutral and that kind of supply is extremely rare.


How do you connect 400 motor to run with 690?

You don't, unless the motor doesn't have to last very long. that's a 173% of the motor voltage rating (690volts / 400 volts), at best you can get away with ~110%. The motor will become overexcited, overheat, overspeed, and fail. You must step the voltage down to a reasonable level for the motor. You could use power electronics for this, or a transformer. If your source is a four wire, 690v system (the line to line voltage is 690v), then you should be able to run the motor wired line to neutral. You should verify this won't overload anything, and won't cause excessive unbalance on your three phase.
