AC Theory ch 32

An Introduction to Three-Phase Systems

QuestionAnswer
1. What is meant when we say two voltage waves are in-phase with each other? reach 0 180 and 360 at the same time
2. The word "phase" is often represented by the Greek letter phi, whose symbol is ____ see page 421
3. Define polyphase as it applies to electrical distribution systems power distributed on multiple wires
4. Most electrical power generated today is ___ three- phase
5. A single-phase power souce can be generated by rotating a ___ through a single stationary coil. magnetic field
6. A three-phase power souce can be produced by rotating a magnetic field through ___ set(s) of coils arranged ___ apart. 3, 120 degrees
7. The voltage produced by a generator is zero for some period of time for the ___-phase power system. The voltage falls to zero ___ time() for each cycle. single, 2
8. THE HORSEPOWER RATING OF THREE-PHASE MOTORS AND THE KVA RATING OF THREE-phase transformers are about ____ percent of single-phase motors and transformers of about the same physical size. 150
9. A balanced three-phase system requires conductors of about ___ the size of the conductors for a single-phase two-wire system for the same kVA rating. 58%
10. There are two basic wiring schemes for 3-phase systems. These are the ___ and ___ connections. wye, delta
11. For a(N) ____ connected device, the line voltage is higher than the phase voltage by a factor of _____ wye, 1.73
12. For a ___ connected device, the line voltage is equal to the phase voltage. Delta
13. For a ___ connected device, the line current is equal to ___ times the phase current. Delta, 1.73
14.For a __ connected device, the line current is equal to the phase current. wye
15. A system that has a common connection for all three windings is ___ connected. wye
16. read the question on page 422
17. Another name sometimes used to refer to the wye connection is the ___ connection. star
18. read page 422
19.The wye connection in #18 has a winding voltage of 120 volts and a current of 15 amps . If a resistive load is connected phase to neutral on one winding, how much power is delivered by that winding. 1800 120 * 5
20. If three single phase loads are connected line to neutral to the generator at 15 amps, what is the total power supplied. 5400 1800 * 3
21. Use the three-phase power equation to calculate the power delivered by each of the genertor armatures in question 18. Wye: 5398 Delta + 5398 see page 423 for math
22. Compare the power delivered by the Wye armature, the Delta armature, and the three single phase loads of question 20. How does the power differ between the connections the same
23. The wye connection requires ___ conductors to connect the generator to a 3-phase wye load 4
24. The delta connection requires ___ conductors to connect the generator to a 3-phase load. 3
25 and 26 look in book page 424

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
