Yes, there is a difference between single phase and three phase circuits.
single phase variac can give 0-270 voltage in ac forms. So it is used to know the voltage in any circuit.
Single phase inherently requires less equipment (it's cheaper). Three phase motors are more efficient than single phase.
'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.
There are a number of advantages why three phase (delta or Y configuration) is preferred over single phase circuit. The best advantage is that the each of the three lines in a three phase circuit can act as single phase thus effectively getting three single phase circuits in one transmission. Another advantage is whether it's single phase or three phase, the generation is the same, therefore three phase has more practical value. Also, the instantaneous power in single phase falls to zero but in three phase system, the net power from all the phases is continuous.
Three Phase
yes we can use as a single phase circuit because at practise directly the 3-phase circuit is made by combining the three single phase circuits
Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.
A one gang switch is like an ordinary switch box in your home. When there is more than one box, the electrical terminology used is ganging the boxes together. Two switches side by side in a single box is expressed as a two gang box. Three switches side by side in a single box is a three gang box. A single phase circuit is a circuit that gets is supply voltage from a single phase supply system. In North America the single phase supply voltages are 120/240 volts. A single phase circuit can also be supplied from any two legs of a three phase system. The most common voltages in North America from a three phase system are 120/208 volts.
single phase have 2 wire treephase have 3, and 4 wires
single phase variac can give 0-270 voltage in ac forms. So it is used to know the voltage in any circuit.
This is a simple concept when visualized but can be difficult to understand in written form. Single phase essentially has the same phase or position on the wave throughout the entire circuit. Anywhere you measure along the wires in the circuit the voltage will be at the same phase, maximum, minimum, increasing or decreasing and the will only be two wires, supply and return. Three phase has three wires and each wire will be at a different point or phase on the wave at any given time. This is a more efficient way to transport electricity and connecting between any two of the wires will give a single phase circuit. Three phase is also used with three bulbs to light rotating machinery, this will prevent a strobe effect that can make the machine look like it is not moving. My examples are not perfect but, close enough and an animation of three would make it very obvious.
Question is incorrect. in a 240 Volt single phase circuit, how can you have A phase and B phase?
is the measured voltage,generated between a line voltage and the starting point of a three phase transformer, which is the neutral point. Answer: it is an ac circuit in which the supply has a live and neutral wire, usually at one of the standard voltages 110/120v or 220/240 v. A three-phase circuit is a combination of three single-phase circuits with the phases of the voltages 120 degrees apart so that they peak in a regular sequence.
There is no such thing as a two phase instrument. There is only single phase and three phase. You can only have: single phase/ one pole single phase/ two pole three phase/ three pole
In a two-phase connection, the phases are displaced by 90 degrees. Two lines (not 'phases') of a three-phase system will provide a single-phase supply, not a two-phase supply.
Nothing happens. This is a normal way to obtain a single phase system from a three phase system.
Yes, L1 of the single phase supply is terminated under terminal L1 of the three phase contactor. L2 of the single phase supply is terminated under terminal L2 of the three phase contactor. A conductor from output terminal T2 is then taken to input terminal L3. The single phase load is then connected to the contactor's output terminals T1 and T3. This incorporates all three of the overload blocks on the contactor into the control circuit. With the overloads in the control circuit, if an overload occurs the magnetic contactor's holding coil will drop out and take the load off line.
