In Fig. 31-38, a three-phase generator G produces electrical power that is transmitted by means of three wires. The electric potentials (each relative to a common reference level) are V1=AsinÓ¬dtfor wire 1, V2=Asin(Ó¬dt-1200) for wire 2, and V3=Asin(Ó¬dt-2400)for wire 3. Some types of industrial equipment (for example, motors) have three terminals and are designed to be connected directly to these three wires. To use a more conventional two-terminal device (for example, a lightbulb), one connects it to any two of the three wires. Show that the potential difference between any two of the wires (a) oscillates sinusoidally with angular frequency Ó¬dand (b) has an amplitude ofA3.

Step 1: Given Information

  • .V1=AsinÓ¬dt
  • .V2=AsinÓ¬dt-1200
  • .V3=AsinÓ¬dt-2400

Determining the concept

The three-phase generator has three ac voltages that are 120°out of phase with each other. Calculate the potential difference between any two wires by using the trigonometric identity.

The formula is as follows:

A-sinB=2sinA-B2cosA+B2

(a) Determining the potential difference between any two of the wires oscillating sinusoidally with the angular frequency ωd  

Consider different combinations for potential difference:

nV12=V1-V2nV12=AsinÓ¬dt-AsinÓ¬dt-1200

By using the trigonometric identity,

nV12=2AsinӬdt-Ӭdt+120°2cosӬdt+Ӭdt-120°2nV12=2Asin60°cosӬdt-60°nV12=2A32Ӭdt-60°nV12=3AӬdt-60°

Now,

nV13=V1-V3nV13=AsinÓ¬dt-AsinÓ¬dt-2400.

By using the trigonometric identity,

role="math" localid="1663157004430" nV13=2AsinӬdt-Ӭdt+240°2cosӬdt+Ӭdt-240°2nV13=2Asin120°cosӬdt-120°nV13=2A32cosӬdt-120°nV13=3AcosӬdt-120°

Similarly,

nV23=V2-V3nV23=AsinÓ¬dt-1200-AsinÓ¬dt-2400

By using the trigonometric identity,

nV23=2AsinӬdt-120°-Ӭdt+240°2cosӬdt-120°+Ӭdt-240°2nV23=2Asin60°cosӬdt-180°nV23=2A32cosӬdt-180°nV23=3AcosӬdt-180°

The expressions nV12,nV13,nV23 are the sinusoidal function of t angular frequency Ó¬d.

Hence, the potential difference between any two of the wires oscillates sinusoidally with the angular velocityÓ¬d.

(b) Determining the potential difference between any two of the wires has amplitude of  A3

nV12=3AÓ¬dt-600nV13=3AcosÓ¬dt-1200nV23=3AcosÓ¬dt-1800

Thus, all these expressions have an amplitude of 3A.

Hence, the potential difference between any two of the wires has an amplitude of 3A.

Showed that the potential difference between any two of the wires oscillates sinusoidally with the angular velocity Ó¬d,and it has an amplitude of 3A.
