Discussion: Three phase circuits are in the majority of cases they are symmetrical and have identical impedances each branch. Each branch can be treated exactly as single phase circuit due to balance system. Therefore voltage, current and power relationships for three phase circuits can be determined using the same rules and methods developed for single phase circuits. In balanced three phase circuits the magnitude of either the voltage or the current are equals in each phase while each phase will be displaced by 120o from each other phase. |EA| = |EB| = |EC| and |IA| = |IB| = |IC|

The three phase circuits can be connected in either Wye or Delta configration
Figure 1. (a) Three phase Wye configuration (b) Three phase Delta configuration
For Wye circuits: Eline = 3 Ephase and I line = Iphase For Delta connection: Eline = Ephase and I line = 3 Iphase The total active power supplied to a balanced three phase load is: PT = 3 x P phase = 3 (Ephase x Iphase x cos ) The total reactive power supplied to a balanced three phase load is: QT = 3 x Q phase = 3 (Ephase x Iphase x sin ) The total apparent power can be found by using the following formula: ST = 3 (Ephase x Iphase ) = PT + QT The phase sequence of the voltages or currents of three phase circuit is the order in which they follow each other. Positive sequence (ABC): In this configuration phase A leads phase B by 120 degree and phase B leads phase C by 120 degree.
Negative sequence (ACB): In this configuration phase A leads phase C by 120 degree and phase C leads phase B by 120 degree.
