Introduction
• The earliest application of AC was electric lamps --> single
phase
• Then a.c motor was developed --> single phase not suitable
• Need 3-phase system
• In general, the generation, transmission and distribution of
electrical power are more efficient using 3-phase system.
• For economic reasons, 3-phase systems are usually designed
to operate in the balanced state.

Example 1
Determine the phase sequence of the set of voltages
Van = 200 cos(ωt + 10 )
Vbn = 200 cos(ωt ), Vcn = 200 cos(ωt )

Solution:
The voltages can be expressed in phasor form as
𝑉 200∠100 𝑉, 𝑉 200∠ 2300 𝑉, 𝑉 200∠ 1100 𝑉

We notice that Van leads Vcn by 120 and Vcn in turn leads Vbn by 120 .
