How Three Phase Electricity works - The basics explained

День тому

In this video we learn how three phase electricity works from the basics. The basics of Three phase electricity explained. We start with a simple single phase AC generator and then add in a second and third phase to under stand its working principle. We also cover three phase power uses and distribution as well as why we don't use more phases.

*IMPORTANT* The magnetic field shown in the video is an overly simplified illustration to help visualise whats happening. This is not representative of the real world. If you need to dive deeper on how magnets and their fields work, please start with this wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field *IMPORTANT* WHY DOES HE SAY "Free fasze" ... because he has a regional British accent.

KISS principle,- keep it simple stupid, I think when we get away from that ,everything goes to hell.

@mkrepps 6 років тому

Yes, but I believe the animation is incorrect. The magnetic field around the magnet in the generator is actually toroidal in shape (like a tall, stretched out doughnut) with the North and South poles at the red and blue ends of the magnet, NOT THE SIDES OF THE MAGNET. Both sides of the magnetic field are of the same neutral polarity. Also, the current is induced in the armature coils when flux lines CROSS the coil, NOT when they run ALONG THE COIL as animated. Therefore the animation is 90 degrees out of phase with reality. This can be confusing for new students..

@markstone2138 6 років тому

Agreed. Many are good at what they do but they can't teach - as I've discovered. It's all about being able to put yourself in the students' place. That was done here.

The problem with teachers is they work for the government so they arent held accountable for their performance the way people in the private sector are. In other words they get paid exactly the same whether you fail or pass so they have no motivation to try hard. Blame liberal policies and vote republican if you want change.

@keithweiss7899 2 роки тому

I’ve been in electronics for most of my 65 year life. This is a good explanation. I see people who mistakenly say that D.C. isn’t used for houses because it doesn’t travel as far. Not correct! A.C. was chosen because it can easily be boosted to high voltage, which can travel on smaller wires, then transformed to lower, safer, voltages when it arrives in a neighborhood. D.C. cannot be changed in voltage by transformers. Interestingly they are now using high voltage D.C. to ship power in some places because it has less loss. With the advent of modern electronics we can now change D.C. up and down in voltage economically. It remains to be seen if this will be the wave of the future however.

Now I work in an industrial setting (CNC machine shop) and work with 3 phase machines all the time....yet I had no understanding of 3 phase power other than the explanation that "its more powerful and cheaper". Well that doesn't cut it for a person that likes to understand the reasoning behind how something works! I've watched lots of videos trying to make sense of it....FINALLY....someone has broken it down to the science/mechanics and I understand how 3 phase works. This allows me to reason why we use it and why it performs better in its intended application! I can't thank you enough!!

Solid explanation, and clear animation. I have a gripe about the way the magnet on the rotor is presented. The North and South poles are not the sides, they are at the Top and Bottom. The max voltage is when the magnetic lines of force are cutting across the conductor at max rate, and that is on the bristly bit, not the loopy bit.

Well presented using modern techniques. It reminded me of the financial benefit of using 3-phase for power transmission, because it actually minimises the amount of cable as long as the load is balanced across the phases, compared with delivering the same amount of energy via single phase. This point was made quite early by one of my old lecturers in the past. High voltage/3 phase is better for your cash flow!

So why the fuck there are plenty of countries using 1 phase system actually?

Great video. It's been days since I came across this and I'm still thinking about how beautifully illustrated it is

@EngineeringMindset 5 років тому

Thank you, glad you enjoyed. It took forever to animate!

I’ve been wanting to learn this stuff for a while but every time I try I get distracted and click out of the video. I forced myself to watch this til the end and I’m so glad I did. Thanks!! ::)))

Thanks for this awesome video1 I've heard the phrase before but I didn't know how this form of electricity worked. Thanks to your excellent illustrations, I do now.

Thanks a lot for such videos. I was very confused with all these things related to the AC current. Today got to knw how it really works for the first time in years! Thanks!

@paulfontaine7819 4 роки тому

Nice explanation and animation. Thanks. One step further: The smart thing is that it does not use 6 wires but 3 wires or 3 Phase wires and a Neutral wire. This allows to reduce the amount of copper needed to transport electricity at a certain voltage. The Neutral wire also allows to make 2 voltages available, depending on the wires used. In Europe, this is 230 V between Phase and Neutral and 400 V between Phases. There is no current flowing through the Neutral wire when all three phases have the same load.

@MonkeeyMan35 2 роки тому

False, a neutral wire still is a current carrying conductor, it only serves as a return path to the source in an AC circuit

@paulfontaine7819 2 роки тому

@@MonkeeyMan35 the neutral wire carries current when phases do not carry the same load indeed.

@3-PHASEDELTA Рік тому

@@MonkeeyMan35 Neutrals are for single phasic loads. in a true 3-phase load, there is no neutral.

Finally, someone who actually explains how the 3 phases are finally connected and used in homes and factories. There are lots of sources of what 3 phase electricity is, but rarely talk about how the 3 phases are divided into single phases for home use or kept as a 3 phase for large equipment use.

@EngineeringMindset 6 років тому

Glad you enjoyed it. There are many different ways to connect houses and buildings but the ones shown were a simplified overview to help understand.

@thewitt2890 6 років тому

The display in the manner The Engineering Mindset only used that display only to not confuse people like me. He did an excellent job explaing the different phases, he was not trying to show how the magnet works.

@hankeisenstein272 5 років тому

Most homes, at least in America, get two phases. We have large appliances like electric ovens and air conditioning units that work on 220vac and require two phases.

@0756rocketman 5 років тому

220vac split phase. For 120vac devices. L1,L2 = 120vac to neutral. 220vac across L1 and L2. L1 and L2 are 180 phase angle.

@HenryLoenwind 5 років тому

@@hankeisenstein272 No. They get one phase that goes through a local transformer which is center-tapped to give them 2x110V. It's still just one phase.

@madnessbydesign1415 6 років тому

Oh. My. God. I have had so many people try to explain this and fail (I'm not sure they really understood it themselves). Your explanation and animations took far less time and made it easily understandable. Well done, Sir!

You Genius. A very snotty man from Veolia thought it way beneath him to explain this on a course.

My dad got a degree in electrical engineering, so I grew up helping him wire relatives houses. It took me a long time to realize that everyone wasn't pretty familiar with amperage, voltage and phases. Now thanks to the internet, anyone can gain an understanding of it.

@paultreneary 2 роки тому

Did this at college 40 years ago but rarely ever came across it in my day-to-day job (only the occasional 'beware 440v' warmings). Didn't really need a refresher but this was a clear & concise vid (thanks YT algorithm).
