Best Answer

Yes, but only for balanced loads (current in all three phases the same value). The voltage value used is the phase to phase voltage.

How many amps for 1010 KVA generator per phase?

To answer this question the voltage of the generator must be given.


What is the phase angle between voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit?

The phase angle between voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit is zero. Voltage and current are in phase with each other.


How to build a Rotary phase converter?

A simple Rotary phase converter is just a motor generator set. An electric motor running on the input voltage/current/phase/frequency. it drives a generator that supplies a different voltage/current/phase/frequency. So an electric motor and an electric generator connected together mechanically, either on the same shaft, or via gears, constitutes a Rotary phase converter. the above is incorrect, the motor/generator is the same motor, just one 3 phase motor is needed, it will run on T1 and T2, and put out L1, L2, and L3. You just need to know how to wire it up and what to do to get it to spin over on simple single phase 220, it will create three phase 220.

In a purely resistive ac circuit the current and voltage?

Voltage and current will be in phase for a purely resistive load. As a load becomes more inductive or capacitive, the phase angle between voltage and current will increase.

That means that the voltage and the current are in phase.


How many amps for a 200 kva 3 phase generator working on 240 V per phase?

KVA means product of voltage and current. For 3 phase generator, its KVA = (1.732 X (Line Voltage) X Current)/1000.Put line voltage in this equation and get current.

What size of wire to use for 1015 kva ac generator?

To answer this question a voltage must be given to find the current output. Also whether the generator is three phase or single phase.


How do you convert line current to phase current?

The current is the same in the three live wires. The voltage can be described as the line voltage (phase to neutral) or the phase voltage (phase to phase) which is larger by a factor of sqrt(3). So a line voltage of 230 v corresponds to a phase voltage of 400 v.


When a three phase generator is short circuted what is the current and voltage?

Hopefully the current and voltage would be zero. The generators overload and short circuit main breaker protection is there just for conditions like that. As soon as the fault is recognized by the protection the generator is taken off line.
