This sum is vectorial and we have already shown this here on the channel. And when we share the same phase? Does the same thing happen? Do you want to know the answer? Then, tune in! This is an exercise to test your knowledge about the behavior of currents and also about circuit breaker curves. Imagine the following situation: I have 3 identical resistive loads fed by two phases each in a three-phase system. If I call the loads 1, 2 and 3, we would have load 1 on phases A and B, load 2 on phases B and C and load 3 on phases C and A. Each load has a current of 9A. If I have a 16A three-phase circuit breaker protecting these 3 loads, will this circuit breaker trip when all of them are turned on? What many people do in a case like this is to directly add the 9A currents in the phases. Since we have the value of 9A x 2, we would then have 18A in each phase and a 16A circuit breaker would trip, because the current exceeded its capacity. If you also think so, I regret to inform you that you are completely wrong. Three identical loads that operate with 2 phases, connected in a three-phase system characterize a balanced delta connection and we would have the following configuration. In this case, the currents would be Iab, Ibc and Ica. Note then that we always have two currents in opposite directions and remember that the currents are 120° out of phase with each other. Therefore, I have to add, for example, in phase A a current of 9A with an angle of 0° Iab with another of 9A and an angle of 120° in the opposite direction Ibc. Let's see how this looks in vector representation? If we do the direct graphic representation, we will see Iab and Ibc out of phase with 120°, but as we mentioned Ibc is in opposite directions. By doing this, we have this new configuration and the result will not be the direct sum of the 2 values 9A+9A, but will be the vector sum which in this case will be 9 times square root 3 which gives me a value of 15.4A, exactly as our vectors show. If the resultant is 15.4A, the 16A circuit breaker will not trip and even if it were 18A, it would not trip either, since 18A corresponds to 1.125 times the nominal current and would be in the circuit breaker's non-trip range, which is up to 1.13 times the nominal current. We have a detailed video about circuit breaker curves here on the channel ( • WHAT IS A CIRCUIT BREAKER CURVE? THEORY AND ... ). So that's it folks, once again the #eletricity channel brought you technical knowledge with theory and practice. See you next time! ????
