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) |
