Three-Phase Circuit

An electrical circuit design that uses three alternating currents, each of which reaches its peak value at one third of a cycle from the other, to efficiently supply power.

Phase Values

Phase values pertain to the specific measurements or quantities that characterize each phase in a multiphase electrical system, such as voltage or current levels.

Pure Reactive Load
