Abstract
Three-phase circuits are important in the power industry, where electric power is distributed using three-phase voltage and current (especially over long distances) and also in almost any industrial facility using many large electric motors.

Notes
- 1.
In some books, load branch voltages are called phase voltages and load branch currents are called phase currents. To avoid confusion, we use the terms phase voltages and phase currents only in connection with three-phase sources.
- 2.
Standard line voltages vary somewhat from one region to another and even within regions; for example, 110 Vrms, 117 Vrms, and 120 Vrms all are standard wall-outlet voltages.
