Explanation of Solution

Given:

The number of phases of the system (n) is 3.

Calculation:

The below figure represents the three phase system.

Electrical Transformers and Rotating Machines, Chapter 7, Problem 1RQ

Figure-(1)

Calculate the number of degrees (θ).

  θ=360°n=360°3=120°

Thus, the number of degrees between the phase with each other of a three phase system is 120°.
