3 phase supply can be configured in delta or Y. In delta configuration, think of the Greek letter delta (a triangle). The voltage is taken across two of the 'vertices' of the triangle. In Y configuration, the voltage is taken between a point and the 'neutral'. In a perfectly balanced system, no current would flow through the neutral line, but in the real world, no system is perfectly balanced. If you look at overhead power lines, the neutral line will be of a much smaller gauge wire than the 3 'hot' wires, because you can achieve close to a balanced load, therefore not much current will need to travel through the neutral.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can you convert 415v 3 phase to 230v single phase?
415V 3 phase is the line to line voltage. The line to neutral of this supply is 230V single phase. Therefore you use one of the phases and the neutral.
How can three types of supply be obtained from the secondary side of a delta star transformer where the supply voltage is 11000 V?
The standard three-phase distribution transformer in the UK is a delta/star connection with a rated primary line voltage of 11 kV, and a nominal secondary line voltage of 400 V, giving a secondary phase voltage of 230 V.So, the secondary provides a three-phase, four-wire, system comprising three line conductors and a neutral conductor. The line-to-line (line voltage) voltage is 400 V and the line-to-neutral (phase voltage) voltage is 230 V.There are not 'three types' of supply obtained from this arrangement.
If in the three phase connection phase to phase voltage is 400v what will be the phase neutral voltage?
The formula to use is, phase voltage /1.73 = phase to neutral (ground) voltage.CommentThere is no such thing as a 'phase to phase', or 'phase to neutral' voltage. The correct terms are 'line to line' and 'line to neutral'. So the above answer should read: line voltage/1.73= line to neutral voltage = phase voltage.
How do you convert 3phase connection to 2 phase?
Any two legs of a three phase system can be classed as a single phase supply.Alternative AnswerAs the above answer points out, connecting a load between any two line conductors of a three-phase supply will give you a single-phase load. But you must, of course, take into account the voltage rating of the load you wish to connect.In Europe, three-phase low-voltage distribution is normally by means of a four-wire system, comprising three line conductors and a neutral conductor, operating at 400 V (line-to-line) and 230 V (line-to-neutral).Your single-phase load's voltage rating must, of course, match either the single-phase supply's line-to-line or line-to-neutral voltages. In Europe, most single-phase loads are rated at 230 V so, for a residential three-phase, four-wire system, it is usual to obtain a single-phase supply by connecting the load between any one of the line conductors and the neutral conductor.But, if you have a non-standard, 400-V single-phase load, then connecting that load between any two line conductors will also give you a single-phase supply.
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 is phase supply and three phase supply?
I think you mean 'single-phase supply', rather than 'phase supply'. All high-voltage a.c. transmission and distribution systems are three-phase systems. This is because, for a given load, a three-phase system uses less copper than a single-phase system. Three-phase generators produce three 'phase voltages', each displaced, by 120 electrical degrees. These voltages are produced in three windings which are electrically connected in what is called a 'delta' configuration, with each 'corner' of the delta connected to the transmission system by 'line' conductors. Three-phase systems are either 'three-wire' or 'four-wire' systems. Generally, three-phase, three-wire, systems are used for high-voltage transmission and distribution, whereas three-phase, four-wire, systems are typically (but not always) used for low-voltage distribution. Three-wire systems comprise three conductors called 'line conductors'; four-wire systems comprise three 'line conductors' and a 'neutral conductor'. Depending the voltage standards used in the country in which you live, a single-phase supply is obtained either by connecting single-phase load between any two line conductors, or between any one line conductor and the neutral conductor.
Is line to line fault a 3 phase fault?
'Line conductors' are the three 'hot' conductors (A-B-C) that connect a three-phase supply to a three-phase load. In some cases, a pair of line conductors (e.g. A-B, B-C, or C-A) is used to supply a single-phase load. A 'line fault' can be a short-circuit fault between all three, or any two, of these line conductors -whether they supply a three-phase load or a single-phase load.
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 much current will flow in neutral line for three phase supply 100amps?
If all three legs of the system are balanced then zero amps will flow all the way up to 100 amps if only one leg of the three phase system is used. The neutral in a wye three phase system carries only the unbalanced current. This is why in services for a three phase four wire system you are allowed to reduce the size of the neutral conductor.
What is line phase neutral?
Line, phase, neutral are terms used to describe the conductors in a three-phase system. The three live wires are called 'lines', and less correctly, 'phases'. Neutral is used for the fourth wire which in a balanced system carries no current.
Can you use phase voltage as a single phase?
A single phase supply can be obtained between any pair of line conductors or between a line conductor and a neutral conductor.
