I think you probably mean is a neutral conductor necessary for a balanced star-connected load? If this is what you mean, then the answer is no, it isn't, as the phasor-sum of the phase currents will equal zero. Often, though, it is difficult to achieve a balanced load, so a neutral is then necessary, as it is needed to provide a return path for the unbalanced current -without this neutral, the phase voltages would change and become unbalanced.

How do you tell which is the line wire and the load wire?

The line wire will be hot and carrying power when the breaker is on. The load wire will not be hot and will have no voltage on it until it is connected with the line wire.


What is three-phase unbalanced load?

A balanced three phase load is where the current flowing in all three phases of the load are reasonably close to each other.Another answerWhen the voltage and measured current draw do not deviate by more than 2 percent under load.AnswerA balanced three-phase load is one in which each of the three loads is identical in all respects (magnitude and phase). Further to the first answer, the three line currents must not all be 'reasonably close', they must be identical -i.e. the same value and phase relationship.


What does no load condition refer to?

If transformer then it refers to that, the primary is charged, but secondary is open, (no load is connected) If motor, it refers to that no load is connected to motor, the shaft is decoupled from the load, but running with out any load.


How do you get phase voltage from 3 phase 3 wire line?

If the three legs of a three phase source are A, B, and C, then you can connect them in delta configuration as AB, BC, and CA to get the three phases.If the three legs are properly balanced, and you have a neutral/ground leg N, then you can connect them wye configuration as AN, BN, and CN to get the three phases.AnswerWith a three-phase, three-wire, system supplying a deltaconnection, the phase voltages are numerically equal to the line voltages.A three-wire system's load can also be connected in wye(star), in which case you will obtain the phase voltages between any one line and the neutral or star point of the load connection. In this case, providing the load is balanced (i.e. identical in all respects) the phase voltage will be 0.577 times the value of the line voltage.

How would you measure power using three watt meter and one watt meter for balanced and unbalanced loads?

The 'one wattmeter method' can only be used for balanced, wye-connected, loads where the load's neutral point is accessible. The wattmeter's current coil is inserted into any line conductor, and the voltage coil is connected between the same line and the neutral point. The wattmeter reading indicates the power of one phase, so the total power is three times the wattmeter reading.To measure the total power of a balanced or unbalanced wye- or delta-connected load, it is only necessary to use twowattmeters -this is called the 'two wattmeter method'. In this case, the current coils of each wattmeter are inserted into any two line conductors, and the voltage coils are connected between the two line conductors and the third line conductor. The sum of the two wattmeter readings will indicate the total power of the load.


How do you calculate how to split a 7.5Kw load over 3 phases?

A 7.5 kW three phase load will be balanced by the manufacturer. When connected to a three phase source the line current on each phase will be equal.

How do you find neutral current in star connected circuit?

if it is balanced then neutral current is zero (!,e iR=iY=iB).AnswerFor both a balanced and an unbalanced load, the neutral current will be the phasor sum of the line currents.


What is the difference between Kilowatt Meter with balanced load and with unbalanced load?

'Balanced loads' apply to three-phase a.c. loads. A three-phase kilowatt hour meter will measure both balanced and unbalanced loads, when correctly connected.

What is difference between line current and phase current?

A phase current is the current passing through a phase, whereas a line current is the current flowing through a line.In the case of a balanced delta-connected load, IL = 1.732 IP. In the case of a balanced star-connected load, IL = IP.For unbalanced loads, these relationships don't hold true, and must be individually calculated.

How much amp equals 100kw with 3 phases 380 volts?

Do you mean 'per phase' or do you mean 'per line'? The conductors that connect a three-phase supply to its load are called 'lines' not 'phases'. If you mean 'per line', and the load is balanced, then you can manipulate the following equation to make the line current (IL) the subject: power = 1.732 EL IL (where EL = line voltage = 380 V) If you really DO mean 'per phase', then it's necessary for you to specify whether the load is star (wye) or delta connected.


Is there a current in star connected transformer in neutral side?

For a perfectly balanced load, with identical loads connected between each line conductor and the neutral conductor, there should be no neutral current. This is because the vector sum of three identical current, displaced by 120o, is zero.However, for an unbalanced load, there will always be a neutral current because the vector sum of the currents will not cancell.


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.
