Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Electrical Engineering and computer Science introduction to Power Systems Class Notes Chapter 3 Polyphase Networks Kirtley Jr. 1 introduction Most electric power applications employ three phases. That is, three separate power carrying circuite, with voltages and currents staggered symmetrically in time are used. Two major reasons fortheuseof threephasepowerareeconomical useof conductorsand nearly constantpower flow. Systems with more than one phase are generally termed Polyphase . Three phase systems are the most common, but there are situations in which a different number of phases may be used.
