In contrast, in a three-phase AC network (three-phase current) with the external conductors L1, L2, L3 and the neutral conductor N, the possibility arises to connect to two different voltage levels. The three external conductors can be used individually or together with the neutral conductor to supply electrical loads. This enables the economic supply of consumers with greatly differing power consumption on the same network. The generator circuit diagram is shown in <imgref Fig-14_V3-generator-circuit>. {{drawio>Fig-14_V3-generator-circuit.svg}}\\ <WRAP centeralign> <imgcaption Fig-14_V3-generator-circuit | Generator circuit diagram> </imgcaption> </WRAP> \\ At the control panel of your laboratory workstation there are sockets. The designations of the sockets are: L1, L2, L3 and N. Connect these sockets to your breadboard. **Warning: There is a risk of short circuit!** Sketch the voltages $U_{\rm 1}$, $U_{\rm 2}$ and $U_{\rm 3}$ using the oscilloscope. Enter all three line-to-neutral voltages into a single screen image and use a different color for each external conductor. Also label the waveforms with the corresponding voltages. To do this, measure $U_{\rm 1}$ and $U_{\rm 2}$ as well as $U_{\rm 1}$ and $U_{\rm 3}$ simultaneously. State the oscilloscope settings you used. \\ \\ <wrap left> {{drawio>Fig-5_V3-Screen-image-rectifier-wo-capacitor>.svg}}\\ <imgcaption Fig-15_V3-Screen-image-three-phase-network> | Screen image of the three-phase-network> </imgcaption> </wrap> L1: $ \frac{V}{\rm DIV} = $ \\ \\ L2: $ \frac{V}{\rm DIV} = $ \\ \\ L3: $ \frac{V}{\rm DIV} = $ \\ \\ Time basis: $ \frac{T}{\rm DIV} = $ \\ ~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~~CLEARFIX~~ \\ Draw now the phasor diagram of the voltages $U_{\rm L1-N}$, $U_{\rm L2-N}$ and $U_{\rm L3-N}$.
