why do people make these websites when they can just answer it themselves. not make other people do it for them. its just sad :(
It is: 1/3 of 360 degrees = 120 degrees
The answer is 3.
1/3 - one third
One third. 1/3
75
(1/3) / 120 = 1/360 = 0.002777...
Devil's Third happened in 360.
240
Phase difference is 120 degrees because that is one third of 360 degrees. In a multi phase power system, you want each phase to divide a full cycle evenly. So, in a three phase system, each phase is delayed by one third of a cycle. A full cycle at 60 Hz is 16.7 mS, or 360 degrees. One third of that is 5.6 mS, or 120 degrees. A full cycle at 50 Hz is 20 mS, or 360 degrees. One third of that is 6.7 mS, or 120 degrees.
360/3=120 therfore 1/3 of a curcle is 120 degrees.
360 + 360 + 120 ie 840.
A circle is 360 degrees. There are three 120 degree angles since 3x120 is 360. If you want, think of the first angle as the one between 0 and 120, the next as the one between 120 and 240 and the third as the one between 240 and 360.
