A Three

A three-phase power system delivers about 73% more power than a single-phase system using the same voltage and current levels, while only requiring 50% more conductor. A single-phase capacitor run motor uses a secondary winding and capacitor to provide delayed AC supply similar to a two-phase motor. However, the ideal capacitor value varies with load, so a microprocessor that switches capacitor values could provide better efficiency than a fixed capacitor motor.

A three-wire, three-phase system increases the power delivered at the same voltage and current

levels by about 73 per cent compared to a two-wire, single-phase system that only increases the
conductor needed by 50 per cent since you only add one additional wire
The problem with a single phase capacitor run motor is they have a secondary motor winding and a capacitor in
series to provide delayed supply of AC sort of like a pseudo two phase AC motor. The ideal value of the motor
run capacitor varies with the mechanical load to keep the phase delay right for maximum electrical efficiency.

If you could get a really high quality single phase motor and rig up some microprocessor circuit
to switch different value capacitors in and out depending on loading, you'd have much better efficiency than a
normal single phase motor with a "Best guess" value of capacitance that can be a compromise unless the
mechanical load is constant at just the ideal amount.

Task 4.1.1:

Power system Economics


components
Single phase distribution Less preferable, due to high harmonic & power loss
Three phase distribution Most preferable, due to good cables/conductors, 73%
power
High efficiency motors Three phase is most efficient for high motor
Low efficiency motors Two phase distribution is use for low efficiency motor
Power factor correction 3 phase = 3 single phase, power factor is equal for both
Energy tariffs Doesn’t matter ,It depends on the consumption
Compact Fluorescent lamps Single phase, due to less power required
Kelvin’s Law Three Phase System Advantages over Single
Phase System.
