What is the difference between phase current & line
current, how both can be measured in star and delta system

Answer Posted / mani

The phase current is current flow between phase to neutral
is called phase current and the line current is current
flow between two phases is called line current.
In Star winding entire line current passes thru
individual phase i.e. I(ph)=I(L)
In Delta winding however line current gets divided in two
windings. Here I(ph)=I(L)/1.732. Here 1.732 is square root
of 3.
