why we use 3 phase in our country?..why no 4,5 or 2??
Answer Posted / raheel4u
3 Phase has 3 wires carrying power (a 4th wire has ground). The voltages on the 3 wires with respect to ground each look like a normal sine wave at 110V but the peaks of the sine waves are delayed evenly so that wire 1 peaks, then wire 2, then wire 3, then back to wire 1 in equally timed spacing. This is called 120 degree phase between any 2 wires. This is the power coming out of power plants. 3 Phase is easy to use or create with generators and motors. 3 Phase was chosen because it needs less copper to carry power long distances. Modern technologies (transistors) can be very efficient with converting DC voltages now but when the power grid system was created we mostly only had transformers and wires.

Please help me regarding my one concern. - During earth pit testing we noticed that the Clean earth pit and dirty earth pit showing continuity (Resistance value - 5ohm) . I want to know that if both earth pit have separate location and there is not internal looping between PIT then why such continuity is showing on it . Because of this issue the field side all earthing point showing short. In PLC panel we are providing two types of earthing cable which is coming from separate earth pit (Clean and Dirty earth pit) because of earth PIT showing short our PLC is not complying spec . please help regarding this issues.
