![]() 282 forum posts 67 photos | Can anyone recommend a book giving an overview of "3 phase" for a non electrical engineer? This book seems to fit the bill...but at £100 I think I'll pass for now! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-Phase-Electrical-Power-Joseph-Fleckenstein/dp/1498737773 (NB I am a physicist by trade, so the fundamental science and maths should be fine. It's more the application that I want to better understand.) Thanks in advance. Edited By choochoo_baloo on 07/06/2019 00:22:08 |

If searching, try polyphase rather than 3 phase Try this for theory Mind you all that math does not turn the light on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ve23i5K334 Robert G8RPI Edited By Robert Atkinson 2 on 07/06/2019 07:18:55 Edited By Robert Atkinson 2 on 07/06/2019 07:24:02 |

5563 forum posts 322 photos | The Wikipedia article is quite a good introduction, and the MIT document Robert links to looks pretty complete. There are lots of similar compendia of lecture notes on the web, they seem to have replaced the engineering textbooks I used to have to buy during my degree. If you want definitive guidance on installation etc then look at the IET books. |
