Is impedance a phasor?

[jim dungar]

Get back on topic - impedance.

Start a new thread if you want to get into inverse waveforms and conjugates of phasors.

A three phase wye has three phases separated by 120 degrees, right? I thought so. So why is it somehow different with a split phase system with two phases separated by 180 degrees? Would it make any difference if we didn't know the source of the voltages? Why?

Well, one difference between them is that with three phase power the waveform of one phase cannot be morphed into that of another simply by changing the amplitude.
