Power System Fundamentals: Balanced Three-Phase Circuits

This chapter reviews the fundamentals of balanced three-phase alternating current (ac) circuits. First, we define positive and negative balanced three-phase sequences. Second, we analyze balanced three-phase voltages and currents. Third, the different types of power are defined and measurements techniques for power are briefly reviewed. Fourth, we provide an overview of the analysis of balanced three-phase circuits using the per-unit system.
