3-Phase Balanced Circuit Analysis

The aim of this lab is 3-phase balanced YY connection circuit.

Consider the example circuit given below. We have already solved this question in the previous lecture. Here, we
want to verify the calculated results with the Proteus simulations. First we will analyze voltages and currents.
Procedure:
1. Draw the following circuit:
Remember the values for the inductors have to evaluated beforehand.

2. Place a 3 phase voltage source and 3 phase induction motor.


3. Place an AC amp-meter in series with the circuit.
4. Set the sum of the generator and line impedances inside the 3 phase voltage source as “line resistance and
inductance”.
5. Set the load resistance and inductance for the motor.
6. Connect and oscilloscope at three phase load terminals. You may use dynamic terminals to eliminate wire
congestion.
7. Run the simulation.
8. Observe the “line to neutral voltage” amplitudes and fill the table below. Do not consider their angles with
respect to the generator. Just observe the angle difference between each pair of voltages.
9. As the motor rotates, it takes time for the speed to build up. Thus, you must wait for about 3-4 min. Only
then you can measure the current amplitude. Do not consider its phase. Alternatively, you may use graphs
to plot the line currents. This takes shorter, however, you must set the simulation time to start from 240 sec.
or 300 sec.
