**Please answer and draw what had question on section with marks.

CONCLUSION:

1. Please brief how 3 phase alternating current is generated

In a symmetric three-phase power supply system, three conductors each carry an alternating
current of the same frequency and voltage amplitude relative to a common reference but with
a phase difference of one third the period. The common reference is usually connected to
ground and often to a current-carrying conductor called the neutral. Due to the phase
difference, the voltage on any conductor reaches its peak at one third of a cycle after one of
the other conductors and one third of a cycle before the remaining conductor. This phase delay
gives constant power transfer to a balanced linear load. It also makes it possible to produce a
rotating magnetic field in an electric motor and generate other phase arrangements using
transformers (for instance, a two phase system using a Scott-T transformer).

The symmetric threephase systems described here are simply referred to as threephase
systems because, although it is possible to design and implement asymmetric threephase
power systems (i.e., with unequal voltages or phase shifts), they are not used in practice
because they lack the most important advantages of symmetric systems.

In a threephase system feeding a balanced and linear load, the sum of the instantaneous
currents of the three conductors is zero. In other words, the current in each conductor is equal
in magnitude to the sum of the currents in the other two, but with the opposite sign. The return
path for the current in any phase conductor is the other two phase conductors.

2. Please draw the 3 types of 3 phase connection systems with labels respectively.

From this experiment, we can identify more closely with the three-phase system results from
three phase currents are measured. Motor stator winding consists of overlapping offset by an
electrical angle of 120 . When the stator winding is connected to the main or 3-phase AC
source, it sets the rotating magnetic field at synchronous speed. We can also learn how to
measure the phase angle in the three-phase circuit. The resulting wave of the oscilloscope
showed a reading of phase angle of 126. This difference proves that each phase coil of 3-phase
circuit has a phase angle difference of 120. Although at first there was a mistake in making
measurements for a reading of phase angle, the result of guidance from the lecturers, we can
solve it.
It has 4 types of connection.

DISCUSSION

This study was conducted to identify the operating expenses in the third phase delta connection. In
this delta connection, it has a 3 phase line and without the neutral line. The three coils are
connected together at the terminals are not the same as opposed to star connection. each end of the
coil will be connected to the other coil beginners. The voltage induced in each coil is called the
phase voltage and the current flowing through the coil is known as phase currents. The voltage
between any two terminal line voltage is called and the current flowing in the line is called the line
current. In delta connection the phase voltage is equal to the line voltage. Delta connection form a
closed circuit, the output voltage plus the three-phase coil is zero. While the line current is the
phase current 3 times. To get the total power is the result of multiplying the total amount of
current and voltage.

CONCLUSION

The results of the study we can identify further how the connection of 3-phase circuit in delta
connection is made. Phase voltage is the voltage measured across a single component in the three-
phase source or load. While the line voltage is present on any of the three-phase line between
source and load. We also can identify how to take measurements in a delta connection. The voltage
flowing through the line taken is equal to the voltage phase. It is proven that in the delta
connection, line voltage is equal to the voltage phase. We also can understand the concept of
starters in three-phase systems such as starter not only used to limit the current flow but also
provide protection for the entire system that is connected via starter. We can also identify the total
power and the power for each load.
