It varies from country to country. In the USA it is 110 volts, in the UK it 230 volts +/- 10%/6%. In practise in the UK it is 240s volt +/- 6%, the slightly odd looking specification allows harmonisation with rest of Europe. In all these cases, the mains voltage is supplied AC (alternating current) and the voltage is given as root mean square (RMS). The peak voltage in the UK is 384 volts.

∙ 7y agoYour question is confusing and probably reflects certain misunderstandings. But I will attempt to give an answer.
- household single phase line voltage is 110 VAC, 115 VAC, or 120 VAC in the US and 230 VAC in most other countries
- household "two phase" line voltage is 220 VAC, 230 VAC, or 240 VAC in the US (this system was originally developed by Edison for his DC system, but after the US converted to AC it was retained and adapted, it is not generally used outside North America)
- industrial users usually use three phase, which depending on their industrial needs may be 240 VAC, 480 VAC, 600 VAC, etc. and could be either "delta" (3 wire) or "wye" (4 wire) configeration
- distribution system line voltage is usually a few thousand VAC to a few tens of thousand VAC
- transmission system line voltage is usually a few hundred thousand VAC to a few million VAC almost always "delta" (3 wire) configuration to reduce the cost of wire, sometimes on very long transmission lines voltage of about a million VDC are used

Is transmission voltage a phase to phase voltage or a phase to ground voltage?
Phase to Phase voltageCorrection to the above answer:There is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' or 'phase-to-ground' voltage. The correct terms are 'line-to-line' (or 'line voltage') and 'line-to-ground' (or 'phase voltage'). Transmission-line voltages are line-to-line (or 'line') voltages.
What is edge speed in electronics?
A voltage is applied to a signal line. The voltage of the line changes gradually from 0 to +V. The "edge speed" is the rate of change of voltage of the line. A voltage is applied to a signal line. The voltage of the line changes gradually from 0 to +V. The "edge speed" is the rate of change of voltage of the line.
How do you convert 3 phase RMS line-line voltage to RMS line-neutral voltage on an unbalance system Basically how do you calculate using trig for all 3 phase?
The term, 'unbalanced system' refers to an unbalanced load. Under normal circumstances, an unbalanced load leads to unbalanced line currents. The line voltages are determined by the supply and remain symmetrical, even when the load is unbalanced. As your question refers to a 'line to neutral' voltage (i.e. a phase voltage), you must be referring to a star (wye) connected load, in which case the phase voltage (line to neutral voltage) is 0.577 (the reciprocal of the square-root of 3) times the line voltage (line to line voltage).
Is 220V line voltage or phase voltage?
Phase, if you are referring to line, as power line from pole.
What is the line voltage between two lines?
the voltage between 1 line & phase =120v The voltage between 2 line =240
What is a line to line voltage?
In a 3 phase system, the voltage measured between any two phase is called line to line voltage.And the voltage measured between line to neutral is called phase to neutral (line to neutral) voltage.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' or a 'phase-to-neutral' voltage. The correct terms are 'line-to-line' and 'line-to-neutral'.The voltage between any two line conductors is called a line voltage.In a three-phase, three-wire, system, the line voltage is numerically equal to the phase voltage.In a three-phase, four-wire, system, the voltage between any line conductor and the neutral conductor is called a phase voltage. The line voltage is 1.732 times larger than the phase voltage.
How match 2 phase line voltage between them?
To match 2 phase line voltage it has to be the same voltage.
What is line regulation?
Line regulation is a measure of the ability of the power supply to maintain its output voltage given changes in the input line voltage. Line regulation is expressed as percent of change in the output voltage relative to the change in the input line voltage.
What voltage should 208 3 phase leads read?
From line-to-line (any two of the three leads) voltage or 'line voltage', the voltage is 208 V. The line-to-neutral (one of the three leads and the neutral conductor), or 'phase voltage', is 120 V.
Is line voltage or phase voltage mentioned on transformer nameplate?
It depends how they are connected. If they are connected between line conductors then they are measuring line voltages. If they are connected across phases then they are measuring phase voltages.
What is line voltage in star connection?
Phase to phase voltage is 1.732 (the square root of 3) times the phase to star point (neutral) line voltage.e.g. if the line voltage is 220Vphase voltage = 1.732x220 = 380V (approx)Additional AnswerYou might also like to know that the line voltage leads the phase voltage by 30 electrical degrees. And, incidentally, the correct expressions are 'line-to-line' not 'phase-to-phase', and 'line-to-neutral' not 'phase-to-neutral' (think about it, a line voltage is measured from the junctions between adjacent phases, so they cannot be 'phase to phase'!)
Why is phase voltage not twice line voltage?
Line to line voltage is not the same as line to neutral voltage because line voltages are 120 degrees apart. They are related by: Line to neutral voltage * tan (120 degrees) = Line to neutral voltage * 1.73.Additional CommentFor delta-connected systems, the line voltage is the same as the phase voltage.For wye-connected systems, the line voltage is larger than the phase voltage by a factor of 1.732. The reason for this is as follows:Because any two phase voltages are displaced from each other by 120o, they must be added vectorially, not algebraically, to find the line voltage. As the above answer points out, this means that the relationship between the two is the square-root of 3, or 1.732.
