Discussion:
Three phase circuits are mostly symmetrical and have identical impedances in each branch.
Each branch can be treated exactly like a single phase circuit because a balanced three
phase circuit is simply a combination of three single phase circuits. Therefore voltage,
current and, power relationships for three phase circuits can be determined using the same
rules and methods developed for single phase circuits.
The phase sequence of the voltages or currents of three phase circuit is determined by the
order in which they follow each other.
Procedure:
CAUTION!
High voltages are present in this laboratory exercise! Do not make or modify any banana
jack connections with the power on unless otherwise specified!
Install the power supply, Data Acquisition Interface (DAI) in the EMS workstation.
Make sure that the main switch of the power supply is set to 0 (OFF) position and the
voltage control knob is turned fully CCW. Ensure the power supply is connected to a three-
phase wall receptacle.
Ensure that the DAI LOW POWER INPUT is connected to the main power supply and
the USB port cable from the computer is connected to the DAI.
Set the 24V – AC power switch to 1 (ON) position.
Display the Metering application.
Connect E1, E2 and, E3 to measure the line-to-neutral and then the line-to-line
variable voltages of the power supply.
Make sure that power supply switch is at off position before making any changes to
connections.
Note: In this manual EPHASE is used to designate the line-to-neutral voltage, and E LINE the line-to-line
voltage.
1. Connect circuit as to measure the three phase (Line- Neutral) voltages as shown in figure
1.1. Turn on the three-phase power supply (EMS 8821) and adjust the voltage on the
terminal 4-5-6 to 220 phase voltages, Using the DAI voltmeter (E1, E2 and, E3), measure
the three phase voltages (terminal 4, 5 & 6 are defined as phases A, B and, C) and record
them in table 1.1.
Ans. Positive
5. Turn off the three-phase power supply (EMS 8821) and adjust circuit as to measure the
three line voltages as shown in figure 1.2
7. Paste your results screenshots below from the metering window and fill table 1.3
8.
12. Does your phasor diagrams look like as you expect? State why or why not?
Ans. Phasor diagram looked like what I expected as the phase angle between the quantities
was 120 degrees.
13. Turn off the power supply and interchange the terminals 5 and 6 of figure 1.2 on power
supply. Adjust the voltage again to 220 phase voltage and now observe the phase
analyzer. See what is the phase sequence now? Comment
Ans. Phase A leads phase C by 120 degrees and phase C leads phase B by 120 degrees.
the source will be operating in negative sequence in this scenario.
14. Turn off the power supply and connect the wires according to Figure 1.3. Compare phase
voltage (VA-N or V4-N) with Line Voltage (VA-B or V4-5) using metering window and
phasor analyzer. _________________________________________________________
