eee oa Now a-days, mostly power is generated by three-phase synchronous generators,
transmitted by three-phase transmission lines and distributed through three-phase networks.
A balanced three-phase system is studied on a per phase basis. A single-phase circuit consists
of one of the three-phase conductors and a neutral return conductor. The loop impedance of 2
single-phase circuit may be supposed to be concentrated in one conductor only with the
impedance of the return conductor assumed 10 be zero. Thus, a three-phase balanced system is
effectively replaced by a single-line diagram. Fig. 8.3 shows a one-line diagram of a power
sysiem. Gi, G2 and Gy are three synchronous generators, Gi is grounded through a resistor,
G2 and G3 through reactors. Ty and 7; are two transformers. Circuit breakers are numbered 1-8,
