Concept:

In a three-phase load, three different impedances are connected together in a star or delta fashion.

The delta in a three-phase system is formed by connecting one end of the winding to the starting end of other winding and the connections are continued to form a closed loop.

The star in the three-phase system is formed by connecting one end of all three impedances are connected together.

Important Points:

In a star-connected three-phase system,

  • VL = √3 × Vph
  • IL = Iph
  • \({I_{ph}} = \frac{{{V_L}}}{{\surd 3Z}}\)

 

In a delta connected three-phase system,

  • VL = Vph
  • IL = √3 × Iph
  • \({I_{ph}} = \;\frac{{{V_L}}}{Z}\)

Where,

VL is line voltage

Vph is phase voltage

IL is line current

Iph is the phase current

Application:

Given-

IL = 30 A
As given 3-ϕ system is star connected system, then phase current is

Iph IL = 30 A
