3-Phase Systems
In 3-Phase Systems, you'll learn ...
- How to calculate line-to-line voltages in a 3 phase system
- How to verify a balanced load situation in a balanced Y-connected generator
- How to find the magnitude of the voltage across each phase of the load in a balanced ?-Y system
- How to find total average, reactive and apparent power in a balanced Y-Y system
Overview
This course introduces 3-phase systems. You’ll learn how to calculate line-to-line voltages, verify balanced load situations and determine average, reactive and apparent power for a number of different configurations. The course covers Y-connected generators with Y-connected balanced load and ?-connected balance load and ?-connected generators with Y-connected and ?-connected balanced loads.
The course material is provided in an illustrative manner, with equations presented without extensive derivation.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the operation of Y-connected generators.
- Explain the operation of a Y-connected generator supplying a balanced Y-connected load.
- Analyze a Y-connected generator supplying a balanced delta-connected load.
- Explain a delta-connected generator supplying a balanced load.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
