    Phase Systems
AI Thread Summary
A 3-phase system consists of three alternating currents, while a 6-phase system has six, allowing for improved efficiency in power transmission. Research indicates that converting double 3-phase lines to 6-phase can significantly reduce electric and magnetic field intensity. An open-wire configuration for 6-phase systems is compatible with existing power line right-of-ways. This conversion can enhance the capacity and reliability of transmission systems. Overall, transitioning to a 6-phase system presents potential benefits for power distribution.

Hi friends,
i want to know the difference between a 3phase system and a 6phase system in a transmission system.
thanks for any help in advance!
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I did a little searching on High Order Phase transmission and learned a little. There has been research on converting existing double 3-phase transmission lines to a 6-phase one.
A six-phase power line configuration reduces the measured intensity of electric and magnetic fields that are associated with transmitting AC electric power. An open-wire configuration is taught that is compatible with transmission on power line right-of-ways, and that can be made by converting existing three-phase dual circuit power lines.

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
