AC Circuit Phase Sequence

Phase sequence is the order in which the generated voltages in the phase winding of an alternator reach or  attain  their peak or maximum values. It is represented by the letters a, b, and c or the numbers 1, 2, 3 or by using double letter as ab, bc  and ca or  an, bn  and...

Balanced Three phase AC circuit Delta connected

A balanced three phase AC circuit systems is energized by three equal alternating emf's of the same frequency but 120 degree apart. The phase impedance are equal. Also the currents are equal and 120 degree apart. Three AC emf's differing in time phase by 120 degree DELTA (MESH) CONNECTED SYSTEM This...
