To order a Control Panel, please specify the number of phases, supply voltage, and power required from the Panel (KW).

MHI will  contact you for details of SCR, Soft Start, and ratings such as UL, cUL, CE

THREE-PHASE LOADS

Two circuits—Delta and Wye — maintain an equal load across the three hot wires in a 3-phase system.  The Delta configuration has the three phases connected like a triangle, whereas the Wye (or “star”) configuration has all three loads connected at a single neutral point.

Delta Configuration 

R = R1 = R2 = R3 (Balanced Load)
Power = 3(VP2)/R=3(VL2)/R

Power-Delta = 1.73 x VL x IL

IP = IL/1.73
VP = VL

Wye Configuration

R = R1 = R2 = R3 (Balanced Load)
Power = (VL2)/R = 3(VP2)/R 

Power-Wye = 1.73 x VL x IP
IP = IL
VP = VL/1.73

3 Phase Open Delta (Open Delta 6 Wire)

3 Phase Closed Delta ( 3 Wire)

FIG. 2,171                 

Please study the diagrams above for the Delta and Wye (star) systems.  Delta systems have four wires—three hot and one ground.  Wye systems can have five wires—three hot, one neutral, and one ground.  One mainly sees Delta used for large motors or heaters that may not need a neutral.  Wye systems can also offer 120/208 V between the hot wire and neutral and 240/415 V  (VP = VL/1.73).  When required, the Wye system’s neutral wire could provide two different voltages and power both 3-phase and single-phase devices.  Delta connections are usually seen in power transmission; transformers are often wired as Delta-Wye. This creates the neutral, allowing the transformer to deliver power for single-phase loads if required.

The values below are only typical.  Please verify with local codes and local electricians.

AC Three-phase Calculations and Design

All Product Categories

Calculation with line-to-line voltage

The phase current I in amps (A) is equal to 1000 times the power P in kilowatts (kW), divided by the square root of 3 times the power factor PF times the line-to-line RMS voltage VL-L in volts (V):

I(A) = 1000 × P(kW) / (3 × PF × VL-L(V) )

Calculation with the line to neutral voltage

The phase current I in amps (A) is equal to 1000 times the power P in kilowatts (kW), divided by three times the power factor PF times the line to neutral RMS voltage VL-N in volts (V):

I(A) = 1000 × P(kW) / (3 × PF × VL-N(V) )

Power Factor

In AC circuits, the power factor is the ratio of the real power used to do work and the apparent power supplied to the circuit.

The power factor can get values in the range from 0 to 1.

One is a good number.

When all the power is reactive with no real power  – the power factor is 0.

When all the power is real power with no reactive power – the power factor is 1.

Three-phase circuit calculation

For three-phase with balanced loads:

Calculation with line-to-line voltage

I(A)=Line (load) Current

f(Hz)= Frequency of supply

VL-L(V)= Line to Line Volts (Delta)

VL-N(V)= Line to Neutral Volts (Wye/Star)

Power factor calculation:

PF = |cos φ| = 1000 × P(kW) / (3 × VL-L(V) × I(A))

Apparent power calculation:

|S(kVA)| = 3 × VL-L(V) × I(A) / 1000

Reactive power calculation:

Q(kVAR) = √(|S(kVA)|2 – P(kW)2)

Power factor correction capacitor’s capacitance calculation:

Qc (kVAR) = Q(kVAR) – Qcorrected (kVAR)

C(F) = 1000 × Qc (kVAR) / (2πf(Hz)×VL-L(V)2)

Calculation with a line to neutral voltage

Power factor calculation:

PF = |cos φ| = 1000 × P(kW) / (3 × VL-N(V) × I(A))

Apparent power calculation:

|S(kVA)| = 3 × VL-N(V) × I(A) / 1000

Reactive power calculation:

Q(kVAR) = √(|S(kVA)|2 – P(kW)2)

Power factor correction capacitor’s capacitance calculation:

Qc (kVAR) = Q(kVAR) – Qcorrected (kVAR)

C(F) = 1000 × Qc (kVAR) / (3×2πf(Hz)×VL-N(V)2)
