THREE-PHASE CIRCUITS PART I
AC GENERATOR Single-phase AC generatr - designed t generate a single sinusidal vltage fr each rtatin f the shaft (rtr). Plyphase AC generatr - designed t generate multiple utf-phase sinusidal vltages fr each rtatin f the rtr by increasing the number f cils n the statr. The three-phase generatr has three inductin cils placed 120 apart n the statr. The three cils have an equal number f turns. the vltage induced acrss each cil will have the same peak value, shape, and frequency. the three sinusidal vltages are ut f phase by 120 Tw types f cnfiguratin: Wye (Y) r Delta (Δ)

FARADAY S LAW The physical r experimental law gverning the peratin f and AC generatr. The electrmtive frce (EMF) induced in a circuit is directly prprtinal t the time rate f change f magnetic flux thrugh the circuit. The EMF can either be prduced by changing B (induced EMF) r by changing the area, e.g., by mving the wire (mtinal EMF). It is the relative mvement between the cil and the magnet that matters.
