If there is a voltage differential from phase to phase, and a conductance (inverse of resistance) between them, then current (amperes) flows. This is no different than phase to neutral, i.e. voltage across conductance generates current, (I = EC, or I = E/A) except that neutral current is zero in a true phase to phase connection.
Note that phase angle is always relative. In phase to neutral, it is relative to (typically) neutral; while in phase to phase, it is relative to the other phase. By Fourier Analysis, the difference between two phases of the same frequency, but of different phase angles, is still a sine (or cosine) wave. Also, by Kirchoff's Current Law, (implied, and I will (sort of) not repeat it here), current entering from one phase and equally leaving via another phase will not reflect at all in the neutral conductor.
The simple answer is that connecting phase to phase is a short circuit, just like connecting phase to neutral.
CommentThere is no such thing as 'phase to phase' or 'phase to neutral'. The correct terms are 'line to line' and 'line to neutral'.
What else can I help you with?
Is line voltage or phase voltage mentioned on transformer nameplate?
It depends how they are connected. If they are connected between line conductors then they are measuring line voltages. If they are connected across phases then they are measuring phase voltages.
In three phase current the phase to phase is connected what will happen?
This is called a "line-to-line" short and it will trip either the main circuit breaker in the panel, or the fuse protecting the panel. It might also result in personal injury if someone is in contact with the equipment when the short happens. Equipment or damage is also possible.
What dou you mean by phase?
If you are referring to an alternating current system, then a phase describes a winding, or a load, that is connected between any two line conductors in a delta-connected system, or between any line and the neutral conductor in a wye-connected system.
What is phase voltage and line voltage in star connection?
The conductors that connect a three-phase supply to its load are called 'line conductors' or, more simply, 'lines'. The individual generator stator windings, transformer winding, or loads are called 'phases'. Lines and line terminals are identified by colours, letters, numbers, or combinations of letters and numbers. For example, A-B-C. Phases are identified by using the letters assigned to the line terminals between which the phases are connected, e.g A-B, B-C, and C-A. Voltages measured between lines ('line-to-line') are termed 'line voltages', and currents that pass through the lines are called 'line currents'. Voltages measured across a generator's windings, transformer windings, or individual loads, are called 'phase voltages', and the currents that pass through these are called 'phase currents'. For a three-phase, three-wire, system, the phase- and line-voltages are numerically-equal to each other. For a three-phase, four-wire, system, the line voltage is 1.732 times larger than the phase voltage.
What is the difference between Load Current Line Current and Phase Current?
A load current is a current drawn by an electrical load. In other words, it is the current flowing from the source to the load.For a single-phase system, a line current is a current flowing through the line, or 'hot', conductor, while the current through the neutral conductor is called the neutral current.For a three-phase system, the three 'hot' conductors between the load and the source are called 'lines' and, so, the currents passing through them are called 'line currents'. For a three-phase system, loads are either connected between line conductors (delta-connected system) or between each line and the neutral (star- or wye-connected system), and represent the phases -so the currents passing through the loads are called 'phase currents'.For a balanced three-phase system, the line current is 1.732 times the value of a phase current, where the phases (loads) are connected in delta. For phases (loads) connected in star (or 'wye') the line current is numerically-equal to the phase currents.
What will happen if single phase load is connected to three phase circuit?
To obtain a single-phase supply from a three-phase supply, the single-phase load must be connected either (a) between any pair of line conductors, or (b) between any line conductor and the neutral conductor. Of course, the voltage obtained from either of these connections must match the voltage rating of the load.
What are the volts per phase on a 240 volt system?
By 'volts per phase', I assume you mean 'phase voltage' as opposed to 'line voltage'?It depends on the country in which you live. In North America, for example, the secondary output of a three-phase distribution transformer typically delta connected, 240 V corresponds to both the phase and line voltages.In other countries, where a three-phase distribution transformer's secondary is wye connected, 240 V is typically a phase voltage and 415 V is a line voltage.
What is the difference between Y or Wye and Delta 3 phase power?
The transformer connection. Transformers can be connected in Wye (One side of each winding connected to the phase wire and the other connected to neutral or ground) or Delta (the polarity of each winding connected to the nonpolarity of another winding to form a triangle).There are different problems that arise as a result of being connected wye vs. delta or vice versa, and multiple fixes or partial fixes to address these.Alternative Answer'Wye' (also known as 'star') and 'delta' (also known as 'mesh') are two methods (there are others!) of connecting the three phase windings of alternators, transformers, and loads such as motors). A wye connection is generally a four-wire system, comprising three line conductors and a neutral conductor, whereas a deltaconnection is a three-wire system, comprising three line conductors. For a perfectly-balanced load (e.g. a three-phase motor), a wye-connected system can dispense with the neutral conductor. In wye-connected systems, the line voltage (line-to-line) is 1.732 times larger than the phase voltage (line-to-neutral). In a delta-connected system the line voltage is exactly the same as the phase voltage (line-to-line in both cases).
How line voltage is equal to root three phase voltage for star connected load?
Let's start with the correct terminology. The three energised, or 'hot', conductors are called 'line' conductors (not 'phase') conductors. which (surprise, surprise!) is why the voltages across them are called 'line voltages'.In the case of a star (wye) connected, three-phase, four-wire, system each phase is connected between a line and the neutral. And, yes, the line voltage is indeed root-3 (or 1.732) times the phase voltage.If the lines are labelled a, b, c, and the neutral is labelled N, then line voltage Vab is equal to the phasor (vector) sum of phase voltage Van and phase voltage Vnb, which are displaced from each other by 60 electrical degrees. The length of the resulting phasor is 1.732 times either of these phase voltage.
Which has the higher voltage - phase or line?
In a three phase three wire system, the phase voltage and line voltage are one in the same just different terminology. In a three phase four wire system, the line voltage is higher than the line to ground voltage. Line to ground is, line voltage divided by 1.73 (square root of three). For example 480volts /1.73 = 277 volts.AnswerIt depends upon the configuration of the three-phase system. For a delta (or mesh) connected 3-wire supply system, the line voltage is exactly the same as the phase voltage. For a wye (or star) connected 4-wire supply system, the line voltage is 1.732 (the square-root of 3) times the phase voltage.By way of explanation, for both wye and delta systems, phase voltages are measured across the windings of a three-phase transformer or across individual loads, whereas line voltages are measured between lines. For a wye-connected system, phase voltages can also be measured between any line and neutral.
How do you calculate the resultant 3 Phase voltage when each has a different reading close to 230?
Your question is not clear.There is no such thing as a 'resultant' three-phase voltage. There are three, separate, line voltages (i.e. voltages measured between line conductors) for a delta-connected supply, which are equal in magnitude to the corresponding phase voltages. For a balanced wye-connected system, there are three line-voltages (again, measured between line conductors) which are 1.732 larger than the three phase-voltages (measured between each line conductor and the neutral conductor). For an unearthed unbalanced three-phase wye-connected load (unusual, but possible), the figure of 1.732 doesn't apply; instead the relationship must be determined by vector addition.If your question means to ask how do you determine the line voltages of a wye-connected system, given a set of unbalanced phase voltages, then you must vectorially add the relevant phase voltages to determine the relevant line voltage, taking into account the sense, or direction, of each phase voltage.
How do you tell if you have delta or wye power?
In Europe, low-voltage three-phase distribution is by means of a four-wire system (three line conductors and a neutral) supplied from a wye-connected transformer secondary. In North America, low-voltage is supplied from a delta-connected transformer secondary, one phase of which is centre-tapped and earthed (grounded). The single-phase supply to residences is then supplied by that particular phase, giving 240 V line-to-line and 120 V line-to-neutral. You can tell if you have a delta power when the phase voltage is equal to the line voltage and that you have a star power when the phase voltage =root 3(THE LINE VOLTAGE).
