The phase voltages (i.e. line-to-neutral in a 4-wire system, or line-to-line in a 3-wire system) of a three-phase system are displaced from each other by 120 electrical degrees. Each phase voltage, in fact, is rarely in phase with its phase current, as the phase-angle (the angle by which a phase current lags or leads its phase voltage) is determined by the load not by the supply.

In general, most loads are resistive-inductive so the phase current usually lags the phase current.

So, to answer your question, it's not important that a phase current is in phase with its phase voltage -if that is what you are asking.

How you can convert 1-phase voltage to 3-phase voltage and vice-vars a?

A single-phase supply is obtained between any two line conductors or between a line and neutral conductor of a three-phase supply. To obtain a three-phase supply from a single-phase source is far more difficult, and requires additional equipment.

What is total voltage in 3phase supply when one of the phase becomes zero?

There is no 'total voltage' in a three-phase system. There are three line voltages and three phase voltages.


On a vessal On a three phase 440v supply what is the voltage on the individulal phases?

Phase voltage is equal to the line to line voltage divided by root 3 or 1.732. So 440 L-L/1.732 = 254V. Your phase voltage is 254V.


How capacitor and resitor in a circuit effect the phase of input voltage?

A capacitor and a resistor has no effect on the supply voltage; however, this particular load combination will cause the load current to lead the supply voltage by some angle termed the 'phase angle'.
