Three Phase Power Equations
Wye (Star) Connection Equations:
Real Power:
P = √3 × VL × IL × cos(φ) = 3 × Vph × Iph × cos(φ)
Apparent Power:
S = √3 × VL × IL = 3 × Vph × Iph
Reactive Power:
Q = √3 × VL × IL × sin(φ) = 3 × Vph × Iph × sin(φ)
Voltage Relations:
VL = √3 × Vph, IL = Iph
Power Triangle:
S² = P² + Q², Power Factor = P/S = cos(φ)
Efficiency:
η = (Output Power / Input Power) × 100%
Note: VL = Line-to-Line Voltage, Vph = Phase Voltage, IL = Line Current, Iph = Phase Current, φ = Phase Angle
