The electrical system is of two types i.e., the single-phase system and the three-phase system. The single-phase system has only one phase wire and one return wire thus it is used for low power transmission. The three-phase system has three live wire and one returns the path. The three-phase system is used for transmitting a …

In Delta (Δ) or Mesh connection, the finished terminal of one winding is connected to start terminal of the other phase and so on which gives a closed circuit. The three-line conductors are run from the three junctions of the mesh called Line Conductors. The connection in delta form is shown in the figure below: …
In the Star Connection, the similar ends (either start or finish) of the three windings are connected to a common point called star or neutral point. The three-line conductors run from the remaining three free terminals called line conductors. The wires are carried to the external circuit, giving three-phase, three-wire star connected systems. However, sometimes …
Parallel Operation of a Single Phase Transformer means that the two or more transformers having the same polarities, same turn ratios, same phase sequence and the same voltage ratio are connected in parallel with each other. The circuit diagram of two single-phase transformer A and B connected in parallel are shown below: Let, a1 is …

The Transformer is said to be in Parallel Operation when its primary winding is connected to a common voltage supply, and the secondary winding is connected to a common load. The connection diagram of the parallel operation of a transformer is shown in the figure below. The parallel operation of a transformer has some advantages likes …
The three-phase system has three live conductors which supply the 440V to the large consumers. While the single-phase system has one live conductor which is used for domestic purposes. The following are the main advantages of 3 Phase system over Single Phase system. Higher Rating The rating, i.e. the output of a three-phase machine is …
Polyphase System is a combination of two or more than two voltages having same magnitude and frequency but displaced from each other by an equal electrical angle. As poly means, many (more than one) and phase means windings or circuits. Each of them has a single alternating voltage of the same magnitude and frequency. The …
Parallel Resonance means when the circuit current is in phase with the applied voltage of an AC circuit containing an inductor and a capacitor connected together in parallel. Let us understand the Parallel Resonance with the help of a circuit diagram shown below: Consider an Inductor of L Henry having some resistance of R ohms …
Admittance method is used for solving parallel AC circuits. The admittance shows the reliability of the electrical circuit to allow the electric current to pass through it. First of all, we must know the meanings of some terms used in the Admittance Method. Admittance The reciprocal of the impedance of an AC circuit is known …
For solving Parallel Circuits, a number of branches are connected in parallel. Each branch contains a number of components like resistance, inductance and capacitance forming a series circuit. Each branch of the circuit is analysed separately as a series circuit and after that, the effects of each branch are combined together. For circuit calculations, the …
