Delta-Connected Sources Line Voltages Vline Vab Vbc Vca Phase Voltages VΦ Va Vb Vc Vline = V
Currents for the Delta Connection Phase Current IΦ Line Current Iline Iline = √3IΦ
Y-Connected Sources Line Voltages Vline Vab Vbc Vca Phase Voltages VΦ Va Vb Vc Vline = √3VΦ
Currents for the Y - Connection Phase Current IΦ Line Current Iline Line Current = Phase Current ---- Iline = IΦ
Power in a Balanced Three – Phase System Total Power is equal to 3 times the power per phase!
