i. High Rating: The output of 3 – phase machine is nearly 1.5 times the output of
single phase machine.
ii. Power transmission Economics: to transmit the same amount of power over a
fixed distance at given voltage, 3 phase system requires 75% of the weight of
conducting material of that required by single phase system.
VL = 3E ph
Line current and Phase Current
• Current in line 1 = IR
• Current in line 2 = IY
• Current in line 3 = IB
Since IR = IY = IB = IL
Iph - the phase current
IL = Line current
IL = Iph
Power
• The total power in the circuit is the sum of the three phase powers. Hence

Delta Connection
• Current in line 1 is I1 = IR – IB
• Current in line 2 is I2 = IY – IR
• Current in line 3 is I3 = IB – IY
• IB = IR = IY = Iph (phase
current) in magnitude)
IL = 3I ph
• VRY =VYB = VBR = line voltage
• Line voltage = phase voltage
VL = Eph
