 Three Phase System
- Most aircraft use three phase system (AC).
- Example of three-phase identification being implemented:
Red (R) , Yellow (Y), Blue (B) or
L1, L2 , L3 or
A,B,C
(according to phase sequence or phase rotation)

Advantage
a. Consist of two separate voltage
i. 115V phase voltage from any line and neutral line
ii. 200V line voltage from any two lines
voltage
b. When the load are said to be balanced, no current flow along the neutral
line
c. Frequency is ALWAYS expressed as the frequency of a SINGLE PHASE,
it is NOT multiplied by three phase systems
d. Most aircraft a.c. generator is connected in ‘STAR’ and its voltage is rated
as 115/200V 3 Phase 400 Hz

F. Power in a Balanced Three Phase System
- In Star and Delta connected loads, the True Power in each phase is given by :
P = Vph Iph cos ø (Watts)
- In a symmetrical and balanced system, the total True Power is given by the sum of
phase values :
P = 3 Vph Iph cos ø (Watts)
- It is usual to express True Power in terms of lines values which is given by :
P = √3 VL IL cos ø (Watts)
*Note: cos ø = Power Factor (PF) ! PF = 1, for a balanced three-phase system (unity)
