    Explain in layman's term

      If it were easy we'd call it mechanical engineering. Yes, there's some confusion involved in 3 phase AC circuit analysis (especially deltas) but the big thing to realize is that loads inside delta configurations experience the line to line voltage. Treat each load impedance as a single ohm's law calculation. To calculate line current it's sqrt3 larger than load current with a 30 shift.

    Delta unbalanced is way easier than Y unbalanced at least :)... Awesome as usual xoxo

    While applying Kirchoff current law did you assume the direction of current arbitrarily or is there some convention ? @34:46

    • @bigbadtech
      @bigbadtech  4 роки тому

      Entirely arbitrary. This being said be consistent. Choose 1 OR 2.
      1) A to B, B to C, C back to A.
      2) A to C, C to B, B back to A.

    Is it legitimate to double check the work by using a kind of black box calculation? ie, you know each line voltage referenced to an imaginary ground, and each line current (and the angle offset between the two). So, no matter what happens inside the unknown box, you should be able to do your power calculations without having to know what's happening inside....

    • @bigbadtech

      Yes, ironically enough that's kind of what the "two wattmeter method" is (albeit with a trigonometric trick where L2 is used as the reference). ua-cam.com/video/pWxpa4NncJM/v-deo.html
      Here's another trick I use ... if you can figure out complex numbers and angles in MS Excel (no easy task!) you can make a spreadsheet that'll do the calculations for you given known impedance and voltage magnitudes and angles. It takes some effort to develop the spreadsheet, however, it's time well spent because you never have to do it again.

    In the example on 14:14 why does the current lag by 20 degrees. Typically doesn’t current lag voltage by 90 degrees?

    • @bigbadtech
      @bigbadtech  Рік тому

      Only for purely inductive elements does current lag by a pure 90 degrees. Imagine a motor winding modeled as the series combination of a resistor and inductor. This element would have a complex impedance angle of less than 90. Check out the series complex impedance lecture at: ua-cam.com/video/peH89MVBh6U/v-deo.html

    19:40 The center column seems weird to me - isn't there mistake in drawings of currents? shouldn't they be in phase difference of 120 degrees?

    • @bigbadtech
      @bigbadtech  4 роки тому

      For a balanced delta load each load current would exhibit a relative 120 phase shift. The center column however illustrates each line current being equal to a load current MINUS a load current. Example: I1 = IAB - ICA, -ICA would be equal to ICA with a 180 phase shift.

    Great work, thank you! Question - why is the apparent power S = 108.2 angle 20, not negative 20?

    • @pstark4
      @pstark4 5 років тому

      Z= R +j(xl-Xc) so I (current, therefore apparent power S) with positive angle is a capacitive load, negative angle an inductive load- that is sign of angle matters.

      you do want positive values for power I suppose for P and Q

    • @pstark4
      @pstark4 5 років тому

      ah, you mention a relative angle formula, that's why the voltage angle is 0 each time.

      @@pstark4 Check out the "AC Power" lecture at: ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=nse2vSlOoME Yes, current must always be measured relative to voltage. Additionally, AC power computations make use of the complex conjugate operation because inductive power (ie: lagging current) is historically considered as having positive sign and capacitive reactive power (ie: leading current) is historically considered as having negative sign.
