A balanced three phase system is composed of three single phase voltages having the same amplitude and frequency but displaced from one another by 120 degrees (1/3 cycle).
We know that a single coil (winding) rotating in a magnetic field produces a single phase alternating voltage. Similarly, three phase voltage can be produced by a set of three coils separated from each other by 120 electrical degree. Three phase power is so popular because of following advantages.
3-phase supplies are 208 volts between lines and 120 volts line-to-neutral.

The main industrial three phase four wire working voltage in the US is 277/480 volts. In Canada the main three phase three phase four industrial voltage is 347/600 volts.
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).
The Line normally refers to the live wire in a single-phase system and the three live wire of a 3-phase system. In a 3-phase system the line voltage is usually quoted as the nominal voltage, and that is the voltage between any two of the live wires. The voltage between one of the lines and neutral is 1/sqrt(3) times less.
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.
Phase to phase, two wire is classed as single phase. If the voltage from the phase to phase match the device's operating voltage, then connecting the device will allow it to operate.
Phase voltage is determined by the wiring of transformer that serves the building. To test phase voltage use a volt meter and put one probe to ground and the other to each phase and observe the reading, this will give you a phase to ground voltage reading. Next test phase to phase (1 to 2, 1 to 3, and 2 to 3) to see if it's 208, 240, 277, or 480. Only licensed electricians should perform these tests. DAW
There is phase to phase voltage in 3 phase system.AnswerYou don't get voltage 'phase-to-phase'; it's 'line-to-line'!
Three-phase voltage in Germany is 400V, single-phase voltage is 230V.
6350.8 volts AC rms. The phase to earth voltage is ( square root(3) ) x lower than the phase-phase voltage on a 3 phase system.
The three phase voltage is 380 the hertz is 50
The same as in single phase with the same RMS voltage.
The voltage you are referring to is a 'line-to-line' voltage ('line voltage'), as there is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' voltage.480 volts. In real life, the voltage will vary slightly by up to 3% (14 V) on a properly sized circuit. Line to neutral will measure 277 volts, plus or minus 3%.
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.
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.

It is 230V single phase and 440V in 3 phase system at 50 Hz.AnswerIf the single-phase voltage is 230 V, then the three-phase voltage must be 400 V, not 440 V. The line voltage is 1.732 times the phase voltage.
