• Lecture outcomes (what you are supposed to learn):
- Generation of three-phase voltages
- Connection of three-phase circuits
- Wye-Delta transformation
- Power of three-phase connected loads
Anouar Belahcen
• High power equipments are built as three-phase systems.
• Three-phase systems can produce rotating field without special control.
• Three phase generator produce more power than single phase one with the
same volume.
• Three-phase systems are more reliable. They can deliver power even if one
phase fails.

• Three similar terminal of each coil connected to the same point called
neutral or N
Wye connection (Y- tai tähtikytkentä)

• For balanced symmetrical three phase system:

• The entrance terminal of one coil is connected to the end terminal of the
next coil
Delta connection (kolmiokytkentä)
Anouar Belahcen
• Residential loads are usually single phase loads (230 V)
• Industrial and commercial loads are mostly three phases loads (400 V)
• Clustered residential areas are powered by three phases
• Single houses might be powered by single phase
• Neutral point is grounded to ensure that all loads are powered regardless of
fluctuations in current
Single and three phases loads
Anouar Belahcen
• Load impedances connected to a common neutral point from one terminal
• The load is powered by a three phases source

• Neutral current
• If source and loads are balanced
the neutral current is zero
• In transmission this means no
need for a neutral line
Wye connected load

• Loads connected between two transmission lines
• Voltage across the single load is the line-to-line voltage
• Balanced load and source balanced currents
