How Three Phase Electricity works – The basics explained




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: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field
    *IMPORTANT* WHY DOES HE SAY “Free fasze” … because he has a regional British accent.

    How does 3 phase electricity return to its source of power without a neutral line?

    woth equal resistive loads on each phase, the total power delivered is always constant. I did not fully get what you meant by 3 phase is a good compromise. i. e. if the lamps are only resistve and equal loads the total power delivered to the at each moment in time is constant.

    Don’t most houses have 2 phase? Like for dryers and AC units? Only asking because at the end houses were said to have only one phase.

    I’ve watched several videos on 3 phase power but still confuse now I’m on the right path
