Peak - neutral for 120 volts RMS is 169 volts, or 120 * sqrt(2)

Peak to peak will be 2 x this value, or 339 volts.

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 it normal for a transformer to buzz?

Sometimes. It depends on the size of the light (watts), the operating voltage, and the line voltage. Very large high voltage lights often buzz.


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 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.

What is the normal voltage of house electricity in the US?

The voltage in North America can be as low as 110 and as high as 125 volts. The average is about 115 to 117 volts. <><><>><> House voltage in the US is generally 120v line to neutral and 240v line to line. It is referred to as a "120/240v single phase service." Actual voltage can be as low as 110/220 or as high as 125/250.

The electric bulb in your household circuits are connected in parallel what happens to the line current and line voltage as you turn on more light bulbs?

The line current increases when more bulbs are switched on in parallel, since more parallel current paths results in lower effective resistance. The line voltage should not change in response to any normal use of electric power in a single house.


What is the connection of normal wire star or delta?

normally delta connection wired in 3 phase induction motor. during starting wiring is in Star and after running normal speed changeover to delta .beacause starting time its phase voltage equals less root3 times of line voltage ,line current and phase current equals. in Delta phase voltage and line voltage equals, and phase current equals root3 times line current


What is surge monitor?

The line voltage increased over 110% of it's normal level is known as Surge , Whereas the surge monitor is a device which is used to measure the voltage increase than the normal value.


Can 24volts be line voltage?

No. Line voltage is 120v or some multiple there of. It is the potential that comes in from the grid and is found on the hot conductor in your house wiring. 24 volts is "low voltage" and tends to be used only for switching and lighting. Also, 24 volts is often DC (though not always) while line voltage is invariably AC


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 can you do if your newly installed GFCI keeps tripping unless you detach all the other outlets in the room but all outlets are wired correctly?

Is the GFCI wired correctly. Voltage in goes to LINE. Voltage out goes to LOAD. Ground wires connect together and connected to ground on GFCI. All screws tight. If all this is correct and you have no loose wires on any of the outlets and no wires are shorted out in any of the outlets then more than likely you have a defective GFCI. Replace it with another one. I get bad ones all the time.


What is a device that increase or decreases voltage in a power line?

A transformer. A small example is the coil in a motorcar. A transformer, in a power line, only changes voltage in one direction under normal usage. At distribution voltages, about 8360 VAC, the voltage is monitored by a regulator. A regulator either increases or decreases the voltage automatically to insure the desired voltage is steady. This regulated voltage is then fed to Transformers to provide customers with a regulated voltage at the desired voltage.
