The voltage across a resistance is in phase with the current through the resistance because the resitance in non-reactive, i.e. non-inductive and non-capacitative. In the inductive case, the load resists a change in current. In the capacitative case, the load resists a change in voltage. In the resistive case, the load current follows the voltage with no delay, hence there is no phase differential.
It really does depend upon what you mean by 'shift'. For purely-resistive circuits, the load current is in phase with the supply voltage. For reactive circuits, the load current will lead or lag the supply voltage; for capacitive-resistive circuits, the load current leads, whereas for inductive-resistive circuit, the load current lags. You can change the angle by which the current leads or lags (the 'phase angle') by changing the amount of resistance or reactance.
Line current = 1.732 x Phase CurrentCommentOnly for balanced loads.
The power factor is a measure of the phase difference. If they are exactly in phase the PF = 1. If they are 180 degrees out of phase PF = 0.
The angle between the expected and actual secondary current is known as phase error.
A phase current is the current passing through a phase, whereas a line current is the current flowing through a line.
Measuring the current in each phase (or do you mean 'line'?) will not give you sufficient information to work out what you are asking for.
How do you zero phase current transformer test
Current is always flowing in the phase due to the continuous voltage application. the current in phase can be used when it is given a - ve terminal or earth the current would complete the circuit.
If the current rises and falls with the voltage, then the two are said to be 'in phase'; this occurs in a purely-resistive circuit. For inductive or capacitive circuits, the current either lags or leads the voltage.
Because if you apply Kirchhoff's Current Law to the junction between the line current and the two phase currents, the line current is the phasor (vector) sum of two phase currents. For a balanced load (only), this works out to 1.732 x phase current.
Add them upAnswerThere is no 'total' current in a three-phase system. The current flowing in each line (not 'phase') is considered separately. And you most definitely don't 'add them up'!

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.
The current carried by the neutral of a three phase four wire system is the un balanced current. If the three phase system was completely balanced on all three phases there would be no need for a neutral, eg a three phase motor. This neutral current will be less that the phase current so a reduction in the neutral size is allowed.
The phase angle between voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit is zero. Voltage and current are in phase with each other.
The voltage across a resistance is in phase with the current through the resistance because the resitance in non-reactive, i.e. non-inductive and non-capacitative. In the inductive case, the load resists a change in current. In the capacitative case, the load resists a change in voltage. In the resistive case, the load current follows the voltage with no delay, hence there is no phase differential.
