You can use wattmeters to measure three-phase power. According to 'Blondel's Theorem', you can use one less wattmeter than there are conductors connecting the load to the supply. So, for a three-wire system, you can use two wattmeters but for a four-wire system, you must use three. Check out 'three wattmeter method' and 'two wattmeter method' on the internet to find the necessary connection diagrams.

How to convert 166 amp three phase to single value?

You can't. Currents in three-phase systems are measured in each of the individual line conductors.


HOW and Why there is 440v supply in three phase and 230v supply in single phase?

In a three-phase system, the voltage is measured between any two of the three phase conductors. The voltage between two phases in a 3-phase system is higher at 440v compared to a single-phase system where the voltage is measured between one phase and a neutral wire, resulting in 230v. The higher voltage in three-phase systems allows for more power to be transmitted efficiently over long distances.


Where are three phase transformer systems used?

Any where that a three phase supply distribution is needed to operate three phase equipment.


How you convert the value of single phase power to value of 3 phase power?

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.


You have 230v 3 phase power can you plug a 230v single phase motor into it?

Any two legs of a three phase system are classed as single phase. So yes a single phase motor will operate when connected. Be sure to use the proper motor protection devices to control the motor.

What are the applications of three phase to single phase electric power distribution systems?

All high-voltage distribution systems are three-phase. Single-phase 'spurs' off the main line, supplying, for example, farm houses, are simply two lines of a three-phase system.


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.


What are the advantages of three phase to two phase electric power distribution systems?

Polyphase systems are used because they allow the efficient transmission of electric power, in terms of power transmitted per kilogram of wire. Polyphase systems with more than three phases are very uncommon.


Is transmission voltage a phase to phase voltage or a phase to ground voltage?

Phase to Phase voltageCorrection to the above answer:There is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' or 'phase-to-ground' voltage. The correct terms are 'line-to-line' (or 'line voltage') and 'line-to-ground' (or 'phase voltage'). Transmission-line voltages are line-to-line (or 'line') voltages.


Why 3 phase not 4 phase or 5 phase or 6 phase?

4, 5, or 6 phase systems would cost more than three phase systems in terms of volume of copper required without offering any significant advantages.


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.
