    Phase Systems
Click For 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.

Hope this helps.

sir i want a ppt on 6 phase power system
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
