Subject: measuring current in a 220 ac circuit
Sorry I screwed up let see how can I word this The power source is always with in phase it is what we are powering up in order to run you must change the phase example if you have three phase motor each phase will be 120 degree out of phase but if you have single phase motor primary windings must change phase by 90 degrees in order for motor to start up, that is what centrifugal switch is use for and capacitor, if this is not done motor will simply sit there and humm, this two setups are must common types for motor starting configurations in industries. on the pure resistive load there is no phase shift. Look in any system if you have two wires going to a load each wire will carry same amount of current it does not matter if is 120 or 220 or 480 if is light to be light or motor to be run both wire/legs will carry identical current regardless if is neutral or hot, positive or negative current is equal in both legs, in three phase system current will depend on the balance of electrical components to be powered and voltage supplied this are basics and they do not change By the way 180 degree shift is never use that I know of in electrical use however in electronics yes and terminology is antiphase, it is use in amplifications (tube type) |

What is interesting to me about these recurring discussions is that nearly everyone has the concepts right, but they just disagree on what to call them. Incidentally, the amplifier reference is commonly caused a "phase splitter" or "phase inverter" and does absolutely no phase shifting but gives the same effect only for symmetrical waves by inverting the signal. There are many points of confusion caused by terminology. In a 120/240 system, many well qualified electricians will refer to "the two phases, phase A and B, or phase 1 and 2" and some will even refer to it as a "two phase system". However, a "two phase system" as described in texts and in engineering terms, refers to something entirely different. It is unfortunate that we are not always careful to use language that will clearly describe the idea to the intended audience. Don Young (Retired electrical and electronic training specialist) |

A Multi tapped transformer having windings with higher
or lower resistance and higher and lower inductance can split the phase. "Tony" wrote in message news:MLpyi.6964$A57.858@trnddc04...

A resistance start induction run Motor splits the phase
by app 30 degrees due to the higher Inductance of the Run winding and higher resistance of the start winding "Tony" wrote in message news:MLpyi.6964$A57.858@trnddc04...
