I'm brain storming about this quandry?
??
Its accepted that if the voltage accross one phase of star 3 phase is 10 volts then the voltage accross any 2 phases will be 17.
As near as I can tell with my math skills this is 85% of 20 volts. We know if the coils were in proper phase 10v + 10v would equal 20 volts but since these 2 phase are out of sync by 120 degrees the voltage comes out 17 volt or about 85% of 20v.
I'm thinking that the amperage may be less also?
If each phase produces 5 amp each and the phases are wired in sires then one would think then the voltage would be 17v but is the amperage, 5 amps as it would be if the phases were in phase or dose the amperage have the same 85% of 5 amps isue just like the voltage does?
If so then 85% of 5 amps equals 4.25 amps and 85% of 20 volt equals 17 volts.
If the losses did not exsists then 20v X5 amps equals 100 watts. On the other hand 4.25 amps X 17 volts equals 72.25 watts.
I know there is another phase here but I was just thinking and wondering if there was an amperage diferance to?
Thanks for the answer that may clear my head.
