To me it doesn't make sense, Presuming the circuits on all of the phases are resistive and they are balanced, The current and voltage are in phase, I=V/R and given that line voltage = 1.73 times phase voltage that means the current should increase as per ohms law and should equal 1.73 times phase current.
I can't seem to get my head around hows the phase current equal the line current.
Can someone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance.
Hi bony, yea im still confused about it and would appreciate a clarification.
line current is the current that flows between the lines if connected by a load and phase current is the current that flows from the line to the earth and connected to the earth by a load.
I don't see how are they regarded the same.
Also the voltages in both cases are diffrent and hence the current ought to be diffrent according to ohms law.
