bIMPORTANT/b The magnetic field shown in the video is an overly simplified illustration to help visualise whats happening This is not representative of the real world If you need to dive deeper on how magnets and their fields work, please start with this wikipedia article: enwikipediaorg/wiki/Magnetic_fieldbrbIMPORTANT/b WHY DOES HE SAY "Free fasze" because he has a regional British accent

How does 3 phase electricity return to its source of power without a neutral line?
Comment from : beastman976

woth equal resistive loads on each phase, the total power delivered is always constant I did not fully get what you meant by 3 phase is a good compromise i e if the lamps are only resistve and equal loads the total power delivered to the at each moment in time is constant
Comment from : Mohsen Mesbah

Don’t most houses have 2 phase? Like for dryers and AC units? Only asking because at the end houses were said to have only one phase

What a superb video! Super clear, so easy to understand Unparalleled in its simplicity and excellence!
Comment from : Terry Willoughby

Best explanation I've ever seen Thank you
Comment from : J

In bike the alternator generates 3 phase AC current and the Regulator Rectifier produces constant 14 volt DC voltage from it So is the Regulator Rectifier unit's wiring in such a way that in gets input from all the 3 phases and regulates/rectifies whichever phase has enough voltage (bright light example in the video) at the time?

first time in 23 years i got it
Comment from : SUpa HotFireFUNCIEK

What a brilliant explanation of every moment Speed of electrons in AC current will remain as instantaneous speed after adding more phases ?? One more question, Does the purpose of adding more phases is to keep the speed of the electrons at uniform rate (constant rate) the moment the electrons start slowing down from the 90 angel to the neutral position (the point of 180 degree)? Thanks if someone can reply!

Most beautiful explanation❤
Comment from : Rajat Kansal

If you use 3 phase design but the center is copper and doesn't spin use electricity to turn the magnets off and on in a circular pattern really fast like almost continuous combine this with a nickel plate charged negatively with ions that will attract positive ions out of the air

Comment from : Rejuan Hosain

What about neutral cable? Where they come from?
Comment from : Ainun Rofiq

Why not just put the magnet in the strongest position and leave it there and let all the electrons flow in one direction? Why must we rotate it and constantly change the polarity?brDoes the magnet have to be moving to make the electrons flow?
Comment from : John Meeks

This was an excellent description of phases!

awesome explanation !
Comment from : Sandeep M

Can someone explain to me why in some other animations the magnet rotates counter clockwise and in this one it rotates clockwise? which way does it rotate or can it rotate both ways?
Comment from : smallzlmob

Thank You!
Comment from : Amey

So each phase has a frequency of twenty hz to add up to sixty hertz?
Comment from : Ross Friedman

👏👏👏👏👏
Comment from : m59 2012

For people who want to know: The reason computers only need single-phase power is because the Power Supply Unit has capacitors which will keep the converted DC power flowing into the chips This is also why anything that requires constant power is DC For equipment that need DC, there are three reasons why AC would not work: 1) the gaps in 3-phase power would cause issues in certain equipment2) The voltage needs to be constant 3) AC usually doesn't have a stable enough voltage in most homes During congestion, the frequency can also drop
Comment from : CheckYourFax

In the video about alternating currents basic (time 1:24) you explained in a opposite way about most intense and least intense of the magnetic fields So can you explain when will be maximum and minimum magnetic fields intense?

Wow man, a concept I've been struggling with for months easily tracked with simple illustrations and masterful wording, cheers!
Comment from : Hungry

Great job!you have the same accent as the Gecko Insurance lizard🤓
Comment from : The Nomad

It is a pity that there are scientific errors in the explanation, because the images are very good The N and S poles are placed in the wrong place; the magnetic field is maximum where the lines are closest; etc, etc

Comment from : Marc Haefner

I have a question, when do you define that the positive side is pushing or if it’s the negative pulling, I mean when one is acting on one side, isn’t the other half acting on the other coil?

Not till now did I understand 3 phase electricity🎉🎉
Comment from : Weggie Mat

Wow this explained it better than my teachers did at college
Comment from : Adam

wait in ac doesn't it changes direction 100 times, because it goes both direction?
Comment from : Clements Chiang

Couldn’t understand the three phase concept til now I have grasped it in seven minutes now wow
Comment from : Abdul Cadus

I have had 3 phase power explained to me multiple times by licensed electricians, and this video was the first time that someone explained how the shape of the rotating EM field correlates to the angle with which the phase wires are arranged around it, and whybrThank you

The flickering of a light bulb is related to frequency of the phase or number of phases?

Comment from : Antbot squad

great vid!
Comment from : Ákos Rupp

I feel that maximum voltage is generated when the flux lines are cut perpendicularly by the coil According to the video maximum voltage is generated flux going parallel to the coil Any way this video is very useful Thank you!
Comment from : Chamila Sumathiratna

Thank you for making this A question on the strength of the magnetic field for a bar magnet At 1:58 you mention that the field is weakest at the poles But from what I’ve read, a bar magnet has the strongest magnetic field at the poles Hence why earth’s magnetic field is weakest at the equator Could you clarify this confusion?
Comment from : Siddart Fredrick

I never really understood 3 phase and when I asked I still didn’t understand but now I have a better idea and understand it now

I have my degree in Electrical Engineering I watched your video and I think you did a great job explaining a difficult subject to the general public
Comment from : JP O

why not more than three phases?
Comment from : Yash Patil

Excellent explanation of three phase power, as well as Hertz’s relationship to itbrKeep up the good work!
Comment from : TheSwiftMagician

Excellent video about the fundamental concept of 3 phase
Comment from : Purna Kumar Vanka

In a country like the UK, the whole country’s AC frequency is the same everywhere So how do they match the frequency of every generator, so that they are the same?brIe How when switching on and adding a new generator do they match the frequency and phases so that they match?
Comment from : Richard Ward

Well explained 👍
Comment from : D Singh

Very Very well explained My God man this cleared my life concepts of those crappy explanations of coils etc Now I know how it all works Amazing job man
Comment from : Dark Frozen

Where does the black cable go? I missed this information
Comment from : Prototo 47

Once a simple ac motor is understood, just say that some generators (and motors) have three coils at 120 degrees to each other Therefore, three ac signals are generated at 120 degrees apart To make a "3 phase" motor turn, you need to send an ac signal to each coil in the motor, separated by 120 degrees
Comment from : TooManyHobbies

Why not have 3 phases at home besides cost Would be cheaper to run AC, heater etc? Don’t we have 2 phases at home with 220v?
Comment from : Marcelo Santana

great video, thanks! <3
Comment from : peruRail

Very well explained Thank you
Comment from : Nasir Usman

I would be interested in comparing the 240 volts that we have in our home vs the 208 volts 3 phase that we have at work Lastly is it the same in Europe (other than the Hz)?

Each of the three bulbs is being supplied with single phase electricity! - with a time lag of T/3brHow does the three bulbs become one bulb ! Supplied with three phase electricity?

Nailed itbrThanks
Comment from : John X

Beautifully explained This was very helpful, thank you
Comment from : Thomas

At time 5:40 in the video it talks about gaps in the 3 phases and you could add more phases to reduce them, but in reality you don't need more than 3 phases because, in a 3 phase system the power delivered into a resistive load is constant versus time
