Overview An electric power distribution system looks like: where the power transmission uses balanced three-phase configuration. 2
Why three-phase? Three-phase generators can be driven by constant force or torque (to be discussed). ndustrial applications, such as high-power motors, welding equipments, have constant power output if they are three-phase systems (to be discussed). 3
Key points What is a three-phase circuit (source, line, load)? Why a balanced three-phase circuit can be analyzed by an equivalent one-phase circuit? How to get all the unknowns (e.g. line voltage of the load) by the result of one-phase circuit analysis? Why the total instantaneous power of a balanced three-phase circuit is a constant? 4

Real Y- and -connected voltage sources nternal impedance of a generator is usually inductive (due to the use of coils). 9
Balanced three-phase voltages Three sinusoidal voltages of the same amplitude, frequency, but differing by 120 phase difference with one another. There are two possible sequences: 1. abc (positive) sequence: v b (t) lags v a (t) by 120. 2. acb (negative) sequence: v b (t) leads v a (t) by 120. 10
abc sequence v b (t) lags v a (t) by 120 or T/3. a m 0, b m 120, c m 120. 11

Solution to general three-phase circuit No matter it s balanced or imbalanced three- phase circuit, KCL leads to one equation: 0 N 0 aa ga bb a n 1a cc N, A b n gb 1b N B c n gc 1c N C (1), mpedance of neutral line. Total impedance along line aa. Total impedance along line bb. Total impedance along line cc. which is sufficient to solve N (thus the entire circuit). 16
Solution to balanced three-phase circuit For balanced three-phase circuits, 1. { a'n, b'n, c'n } have equal magnitude and 120 relative phases; 2. { ga = gb = gc }, { 1a = 1b = 1c }, { A = B = C }; total impedance along any line is the same ga + 1a + A = =. Eq. (1) becomes: N 1 0 3 an N 0 bn an N cn 0, bn N N 0. cn N, 17
Meaning of the solution N = 0 means no voltage difference between nodes n and N in the presence of 0. Neutral line is both short (v = 0) and open (i = 0). The three-phase circuit can be separated into 3 one-phase circuits (open), while each of them has a short between nodes n and N. 18
