What’s on the Three-Phase Power poster
The rule, 3 worked examples, and the mistake everyone makes.

- P = √3 V_L I_L cos φ · Star: V_L = √3 V_ph
- 400 V, 10 A, pf 0.9 = P ≈ 6.2 kW
- Star at 400 V line = 231 V per phase
- Delta at 400 V line = 400 V per phase
- Common mistake: Mixing line and phase values in one formula → Keeping the two sets st…

- Who is the Three-Phase Power poster for?
- Three-Phase Power belongs to the Electrical Engineering section rather than to a school year, because engineering is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning power can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Three-Phase Power poster?
- Use it to convert between line and phase values without guessing at the √3. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Three-Phase Power belongs on the wall where that engineering work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Three-Phase Power?
- Earthing & Protection, Transformer Equations and Fault Types sit alongside Three-Phase Power in the Electrical Engineering section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Earthing & ProtectionTransformer EquationsFault Types
- Is the Three-Phase Power poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Three-Phase Power downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Electrical Engineering section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Three-Phase Power poster print at?
- Three-Phase Power is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Three-Phase Power loses nothing.Printing guide
