Single-phase Power System
To help us understand single-phase power system, consider the sine wave shown in figure 1(a) below of a 120 Vac single-phase power connected to a plug.

In alternating current circuits, the instantaneous power varies continuously as the voltage and current varies while going through a cycle. In this case the power at any instant is given by:
p(t) = v(t) x … Read more
Thomas A. Edison’s work on electric light led to the concept of a centrally located power station with distributed electric power for lighting. Edison’s work on dc systems expanded with the development of three-wire 220 V dc systems but transmission … Read more
