Live support chatA Simple Way to Look at Three-Phase Power (Webinar)
Credit: 3 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: David Romano, M.S.E.E.
Type: Live Interactive Webinar
In A Simple Way to Look at Three-Phase Power , you'll learn ...
- A review of single-phase alternating current circuits
- Ohm’s Law, power and energy
- Why RMS is used when working with alternating current voltages and currents
- Single-phase and three-phase waveforms and vectors
Overview
In today’s world, electrical power is used to help us do much of our work and make our lives more livable and enjoyable. Individually, most of us only use single-phase power. However, for industrial and commercial purposes, three-phase power is the predominant way that electrical energy is generated, transmitted, and used. With that in mind, it can be useful to know some of the basic theory of three-phase electrical power.
In this webinar, you will learn the basic concepts of single-phase and three-phase alternating current electrical power. We will start with single-phase electrical theory, because three-phase voltage is simply three single-phase voltages connected in a certain manner.
This course is set up so that any engineer can gain a better understanding of how the power and energy that we use operate. Afterward, you may begin to notice the transmission lines and electrical switchyards that are scattered over the landscape.
Special Note: Course E-2058, E-3013, and webinar E-2023W are alternate presentations of the same course material. Therefore, only one version can be taken during a renewal cycle. If you have any questions regarding course eligibility, please contact our Customer Service Team.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Compare single-phase and three-phase waveforms and vectors.
- Interpret the VIP Chart developed by the author.
- Explain how a three-phase circuit can be analyzed as three single-phase circuits.
- Apply Wye-Delta transformations to sources and loads.
- Explain Kirchhoff’s Current Law and its applications to three-phase circuits.
- Distinguish balanced and unbalanced loads and describe reactive components.
- Explain phase sequence and its importance.
- Identify practical applications and reasons for using three-phase electrical power.
