The first polyphase system a look back at two-phase power for AC distribution

Abstract: IEEE power & energy magazine 63T THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES THE first "polyphase" (more than one phase) system developed for the distribution of alternating current (ac) power. This two-phase system was subsequently rendered obsolete, however, by the superior three-phase system that is now universally used throughout the world.

“…1-a). It can be seen that, as expected, (7) uses P to calculate the balanced active currents, and Q is similarly used to obtain the balanced reactive current (8). Additionally, as aforementioned, the unbalanced active currents (9) are calculated based on the phase conductances (i.e., obtained by means of Pm and 𝑉 𝑚 2 ) and by considering the equivalent conductance of the circuit.…”

“…Nonetheless, for what concerns the topology of two-phase three-wire (2Φ3w) grids (i.e., comprised of two phases plus neutral conductor), a limited number of discussions exists due to the particular application of such systems. Electrical grids based on two-phase power are considered to be the first poly-phase systems [8], and the 2Φ3w topology is still currently found in distribution power systems over the world [9]- [11] (i.e., mostly for residential and rural applications). It is generally an extension of three-phase grids.…”

“…In spite that the generation and transmission of electric power are done by means of the threephase ac system, today, the development of the two-phase system is still continued mainly to split-single-phase IM motor supply that is documented in this chapter and given references. So, the first venture into the realm of polyphase electric power has used only two alternating current phases rather than three but with pulsating power flow to motor in contrast to constant power of three-phase system [1]. In regard to topologies of the two-phase inverters, mostly three-leg ones with six switches or two legs with four switches are used.…”
