Lab 2 Three Phase Circuits

This laboratory experiment involves measuring voltages, currents, real power, reactive power, and power factor in three-phase circuits. Students will connect resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads in both wye and delta configurations. Simulation and calculations will be performed to determine the line and phase quantities for each circuit. Tables will record the simulation and calculation results and compare them to determine any percentage errors. The objectives are to make measurements in three-phase circuits and determine power and power factor.

Laboratory work #2

Three Phase Circuits

Prelab:
Three phase circuits or system are made of three phase sources, three phase feeder and three
phase loads. The three phase loads are connected in why (Y) or delta  shape. The line (L)
and phase (P) quantities of a balanced three phase circuits are related to each other as follows.
In a Y-connection, the line and the phase quantities are related by:
VP = VL/√3 (1)
IP=IL (2)
Whereas the relationships for a -connection are
IP = IL/√3 (3)
VP= VL (4)
The real and reactive powers for a 3 phase circuit (either Y or connection) are given as
P=√3 VL IL cos (θ) (5)
Q=√3 VL IL sin (θ) (6)
Where θ is the power factor angle of the load
-1
θ = tan (Q/ P) (7)
PF=cos (θ) (8)

Equation (7) and (8) can be used also to calculate the per factor for every phase

In Lab:
1. For preliminary measurements use the digital Multimeter to measure each phase
resistance of the resistive load bank as per figure 1 while the resistance control position is
at (40%) then enter each phase resistance value in Table 1. Do not change the position
of the resistance knob through the rest of the experiment.

2. Repeat the phase measurement for the inductive load bank (L=0.2H, 0.65A) internal
series resistance for each phase as per figure 2 and enter the values in Table 2.
