No, this voltage appears ACROSS individual phases, or BETWEEN a line conductor and the neutral
There are two types of connections in three phase systems. One is a delta connection where there is no connection to ground, so you should not get any voltage to ground. This is classed as a three phase three wire system. In this type of system any one of the phase wires could become grounded and no one be the wiser. Code requires that grounding lights be added to a delta system to visually show what the phase condition is in relationship to ground. The other type of system is a wye or star point connection. This is classed as a three phase four wire system. In this type of connection the coil ends are all joined together and grounded. You would have voltage between the phases and a lower voltage to ground. The voltage to ground would be the phase voltage divided by 1.73.Yes. If there is no voltage between a hot and a ground, either the hot isn't really a hot or the ground isn't really a ground.AnswerThere is always a potential difference between a line conductor and ground, regardless of whether it is a three-wire system or a four-wire system. This is due to the capacitance between line and ground.
In a wye system the voltage between any two wires will always give the same amount of voltage on a three phase system. However, the voltage between any one of the phase conductors (X1, X2, X3) and the neutral (X0) will be less than the power conductors. For example, if the voltage between the power conductors of any two phases of a three wire system is 220v, then the voltage from any phase conductor to ground will be 110v. This is due to the square root of three phase power. In a wye system, the voltage between any two power conductors will always be 1.732 (which is the square root of 3) times the voltage between the neutral and any one of the power phase conductors. The phase-to-ground voltage can be found by dividing the phase-to-phase voltage by 1.732 answer from ground and any phase
A grounded neutral will be at earth potential. A floating neutral will be at a voltage dependent upon the voltage imbalance between phases, and the design of the transformer.
You cannot have 380 V between 'phases'. You can, on the other hand, have 380 V 'between lines'! '380 V between lines' refers to the voltage measured between any pair of line conductors in a three-phase system.
Well if you are talking about phases, it would be half of 208V.

The phase voltage is usually constant and determined by the supply voltage.

Sum the current and multiply by the line to ground voltage. Never use the phase to phase voltage unless you're dealiing with a dedicated load using all three phases like a 3 phase motor.

The spacing is determined by the voltage. The higher the voltage the greater the line separation. Without the voltage a line separation can not be answered.

three phases
115 is the RMS voltage. The actual voltage is a sine wave from -167 to +167 relative to ground. RMS stands for root-mean-square, and it a way of saying that 155 Volts of DC would do the same work on the same sized load. There can be up to 3 phases, and they are the sine wave, shifted by a part of the curve. In most houses, there are 2 phases, and the voltage to ground for each is 110 to 120 V RMS. The voltage between the 2 is 230-240VRMS. 3 phase gets very complex. Each phase is 115 to ground or neutral. 3 PHASE 115V AC EACH PHASE IS 120 DEGRES PHASE SHIFTED THE EFFECTIVE VALUE IS .639 X 115 THE PEAK VALUE OF PHASE IS 1.41X RMS VALUE.
in a delta configuration the current is split between the phases, as opposed to a wye configuration where the current will be equal on all phases. and vice versa for voltage.
