By 'volts per phase', I assume you mean 'phase voltage' as opposed to 'line voltage'?
It depends on the country in which you live. In North America, for example, the secondary output of a three-phase distribution transformer typically delta connected, 240 V corresponds to both the phase and line voltages.
In other countries, where a three-phase distribution transformer's secondary is wye connected, 240 V is typically a phase voltage and 415 V is a line voltage.

What is a 208 circuit?
The 208 volt configuration is one phase of a three phase source at 240 volts, where the 208 volt circuit is connected between the center tap of one 240 volt phase (usually a grounded neutral, in the style of a standard 120/240 split phase system) and the high delta connection on either of the other two phases. 208 circuit would consist of two phases of a 208 volt wye system or could be all three phases. The voltage between conductors would be 208 volts. The voltage to ground from any phase would be 120 volts. A 240 volt delta system would give you a high leg to ground, somewhere around 190 volts and the other two would be 120 volts to ground.
What is the difference between 277 volts and 240 volts?
These voltages are both wye connection three phase voltages. The voltage difference comes from the primary three phase voltage supplies. 277 volts is obtained from 277 x 1.73 = 480 and 240 volts is obtained from 240 x 1.73 = 415. 480/277 volts is a common three phase American voltage. 415/240 volts is a European voltage. In Canada a common three phase voltage is 347/600. The 240 volts could also be a single phase voltage in North America derived from a split phase secondary on a distribution transformer that supplies 120/240 volts to homes.
If a single phase 240 Volt ac is applied to a full wave bridge rectifier. what will be the resultant dc voltage?
A: the rms value will be169 volts add a capacitor and no load 240 volts and the average will be 153 volts
7200 volt 25kw transformer how many amps at 240 single phase?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
Is 240 Volt 3 phase 60 Hz electricity available in Toluca Mexico?
There are still three phase delta 240 volt systems connected to the grid. Theyconsist of two smaller KVA transformers for two phase coils and a larger KVA transformer to complete the third phase. This larger transformer's secondary is center tapped to supply the split 120 volts to ground (neutral). To use a 240 volt wye system the voltage to ground would be 240 / 1.73 = 139 volts which is too high for North American standards. They are slowly being phased out by 120/208 systems. This allows for a three phase distribution and 208 / 1.73 = 120 volts to ground.240V is a common single split-phase voltage, not a 3 phase voltage. Did you mean 208V? 208 is a common 3-phase voltage.I'm not sure what's available in Mexico but you could just buy a transformer.
Can you use 240 volt 3 phase to run a machine that is 240 volt single phase?
Yes, if the motor is rated 240 volts 3 phase.There is such a thing as 240 volt 3 phase power.However if you are asking if you can use 240 volts single phase on a three phase motor, then the answer is no.

Why there is different types of voltage range 210 Volt 220 Volt 230 Volt 240 Volt 250 Volt in single phase AC system and what it based?
In the US the voltage is about 220 volts. This voltage is based upon the average voltage of the AC sine wave. It can peak as high as 240 volts or as low as 210 volts. So these different voltages are actually referring to an average 220 volt system.

What are the averag volts used in a US Home?
US homes use a 240 volt single phase 'Edison' system. It is a 3-wire (4 with the ground) system. Phase to phase measures 240v, while each phase to neutral measures 120v.
Is France 110 volt or 220 volt?
France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.
How can you get a 240V single-phase power from a 120V 3-phase service?
First of all there is no common three phase 120 volt service. There is in North America a three wire 120/240 volt single phase service. That being said, if you want to change a 120 volt source to 240 volts it must be done with a transformer. Its classification is a step up transformer. The primary side of the transformer H1 - H2 will be connected to the 120 volts. The secondary side of the transformer X1 - X2 will be connected to the 240 volt load. The transformer is sized by the current required by the 240 volt load.
What size wire do you need for a 200 Amp 240 Volt 3 phase 4 wire service on a doctors office?
You might be out of luck. Three phase delta 240 volt services are a thing of the past. As far as I know there never was a 240 volt three phase four wire. The line to neutral voltage would be 240/1.73 = 139 volts which is of no use to anyone. Three phase four wire system for business and commercial use these days is 120/208 volts. A 3/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 225 amps.

Can 240 volt appliances from NZ run on 240 Volts in the US?
yes 240volts is 240 volts
Does your house have 440 volt line?
No houses are wired for 440 volts. In the USA, most houses are wired for 240/120 volts called single or split phase. That means each "leg" of the service is 120 volts to ground, but across the two it sums to 240 volts, since each "leg" is 180 degrees out of phase with respect to each other. When one "leg" of the service is at +120 volts, the other "leg" is its mirror image, at -120 volts. In this way, connecting across the two yields twice the voltage of either leg to ground, allowing the use of 240 volt or 120 volt appliances depending on how connected- to ground or across "legs". Most other countries with 220-240 volt appliances do not use split phase service. There is only the one phase to ground and in those countries the incoming line is 220-240 volts to ground, voltage depending on the country.
