Unit 8 Three – Phase Circuit Technical Terms DC(direct current) 直流电 three-phase 三相 phase voltage 相电压 Y-connected Y形连接的，即星形连接的 △-connected △形连接的，即三角形连接的 Questions for text discussion What does a typical three-phase system consist of? How can the voltages be connected? Text A typical three-phase voltage sources A three-phase load conclusion Both the three phase source and the three-phase load can be either Y-or△-connected, we have four possible connections Y-Y connection (i. e. Y-connected source with a Y-connected load); Y-△connection; △-△connection; △-Y connection. Exercises Translation A three-phase system is equivalent to three single-phase circuits. The voltages sources can be either Y-connected as shown in Fig. 8.1 (a) or △-connected as in Fig. 8.1 (b). It is appropriate to mention here that a balanced △-connected load is more common than a balanced Y -connected load．This is due to the case with which loads may be added or removed from each phase of a △-connected load.
