Q

In a three-phase circuit, how far apart are the phase voltages?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Three-phase AC power and how many phase conductors it uses • How phase angles are represented on a sine-wave or phasor diagram • The meaning of "equally spaced" phase voltages in one full 360° cycle

💭 Think About

• If a full electrical cycle is 360°, how would you split it into three equal phase angles? • Draw a simple circle (phasor diagram) and mark three equally spaced points around it—what is the angular separation between each? • Compare your result with each of the answer choices and see which one matches your equal spacing.

✅ Before You Answer

• Remember that three-phase power has three phase voltages that are identical in magnitude but shifted in time/angle • Confirm that the sum of all the phase separations across one full revolution is 360° • Ensure your chosen answer reflects equal spacing between all three phases, not just between two.
