Polyphase System • Phase means branch, circuit or winding while poly means many. • So such applications need a supply having many a. c voltages present in it simultaneously. • Such a system is called polyphase system.

Phase Sequence The sequence in which the voltages in three phases reach their maximum positive values is called Phase Sequence. Generally the phase sequence is R-Y-B.
Line Voltage & Line Current The potential difference between any two lines of supply is called LINE VOLTAGE and current passing through any line is called LINE CURRENT.
Line Voltage & Line Current In Star connection
Line Voltage & Line Current In Delta connection
Phase Voltage & Phase Current The potential difference between any line and neutral of supply is called PHASE VOLTAGE and current passing through any phase is called PHASE CURRENT.
