The line-to-neutral (not 'phase-to-neutral'!) voltage on a 400V 3-Phase wye-connected system is 230V.

Line voltage is the voltage as measured between any two (2) line conductors (hence its name!). Line voltage is often referred to as the 'line-to-line voltage'.

Phase voltage is the voltage as measured between any single line and neutral. Phase voltage is often referred to as a 'line-to-neutral' voltage.

"400V" on a 400V 3-Phase wye-connected power supply indicates its line voltage. Line voltage in a wye system is always the phase voltage multiplied by the square-root of "3" (1.732) and reflects the vector sum of two individual phase voltages present in a three phase system.

Thusly, if the line voltage is "400V", then the phase voltage is 400V divided by the square-root of "3" (1.732), which is 230V.

Examples of this for North American power systems are 120/208V, 277/480V and 347/600V. Examples for other areas of the world are 220/380V, 230/400V and 240/415V.

What is the total of a phase to earth voltage on 11000 volts?

An 11,000 volt three-phase supply has a voltage of 6351 from live to neutral, when there is a neutral wire.


If in the three phase connection phase to phase voltage is 400v what will be the phase neutral voltage?

The formula to use is, phase voltage /1.73 = phase to neutral (ground) voltage.CommentThere is no such thing as a 'phase to phase', or 'phase to neutral' voltage. The correct terms are 'line to line' and 'line to neutral'. So the above answer should read: line voltage/1.73= line to neutral voltage = phase voltage.


Why floating neutral in a three phase supply is undesirable?

Floating neutral in 3 phase supply is undesirable as if the same thing occurs then there will be bad effect for all single phase equipment which we are using as phase to neutral voltage will exceed from its normal value and it will harm the equipments.


What is the voltage for a single phase from a 415 volt 3 phase and neutral supply?

240V. 415 / 1.73 = 240


Can you convert 415v 3 phase to 230v single phase?

415V 3 phase is the line to line voltage. The line to neutral of this supply is 230V single phase. Therefore you use one of the phases and the neutral.


How you can convert 1-phase voltage to 3-phase voltage and vice-vars a?

A single-phase supply is obtained between any two line conductors or between a line and neutral conductor of a three-phase supply. To obtain a three-phase supply from a single-phase source is far more difficult, and requires additional equipment.


How do you reduce neutral to earth voltage in three phase system?

It is done by connecting the neutral to earth at the transformer that produces the three-phase supply. If the three phase wire supply equal currents, there is no current in the neutral wire and its whole length stays at earth potential, but if there is current in the neutral it produces a small voltage on the neutral at places away from the transformer.


Can you use phase voltage as a single phase?

A single phase supply can be obtained between any pair of line conductors or between a line conductor and a neutral conductor.


How three phase line current convert in single phase?

The current is the same in the three live wires. The voltage can be described as the line voltage (phase to neutral) or the phase voltage (phase to phase) which is larger by a factor of sqrt(3). So a line voltage of 230 v corresponds to a phase voltage of 400 v.


When you have 56KVA available in 3 phase supply how much is your available current in 3 phase and how much in 1 phase?

In three phase: I = (three phase VA) / (sqrt(3) x (phase to phase voltage)) for single phase: I = (single phase VA) / ((phase to neutral voltage)) keep in mine three phase VA = 3 x (single phase VA), and phase to phase voltage = 1.732 x (phase to neutral voltage) Therefore the single phase and three phase currents are the same (ie, the three phase currents are the same in all three phases, or balanced). But don't get available current and available power confused (KVA is not the same as KW).
