Can anyone with knowledge of three phase system please explain the concept behind phasor diagrams and how to draw one based off given phase angles for both current and voltage? Thanks in advance for your time.

A three-phase circuit generates, distributes, and uses energy in the form of three voltages equal in magnitude and symmetric in phase.

As to how you would draw the phasor diagrams, it is identical to how you would draw any other phasor diagram, there is no difference.

If this is what you're confused about, a quick search either on this forum or google should lead to some pretty promising results.
