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.

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.
How do you test a 3 phase service?
Contact your power provider or power company. 3 phase sometimes is not available in certain areas (mostly rural). They have to run extra wires from the power pole or grid to your place where you want 3 phase.
How do you convert a 3 phase power supply to a single phase supply?
If the 3 phase circuit has a neutral (4th) wire, you can connect from one of the 3 phase wires to the neutral wire for a single phase circuit. You need to check the voltage with a DVM voltmeter or equivalent to make sure the 3 phase circuit is the correct voltage from one leg (wire) to the neutral for the equipment you wish to power. Be careful with this one as it may exceed your capabilities to do this work safely.Another answerYou don't need to "convert" a three phase service to a single phase service, you only need to take a single phase service from one of the lines of a three phase service.Working with a 3-phase electrical service is not a safe DIY project to be attempted by anyone who has not had the proper training and practical experience of working with high voltage electrical services. So, if you needed to ask this question, you should not be attempting to do this work by yourself!As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
If you are measuring the voltage of a three phase power system you take only two phase in account then why there is a need for third phase?
Answer Take all phases into account. Voltage is measured between two phases of the three phases at one time, so what this means is this...first you read voltage between line 1 and line 2...then you read voltage between line 2 and line 3...and then from line 1 to line 3. Each phase of a 3 phase system is 120 degrees from the other in a 360 degree pattern. It takes all 3 phases to start a 3 phase motor but can run on two. If a 3 phase motor tries to start on two phases it is refered to as single phasing and can damage the motor.Another AnswerFirst of all, let's get the terminology correct. The wires that join a three-phase load to its supply are called 'LINE conductors', not 'phase conductors'! This is very important. Phases, which are normally inaccessible, are either the generator windings, the transformer windings, or the individual loads, connected to the line conductors -this can make measuring phase voltages very difficult unless you can access the interior of these machines/loads.The voltage of a three-phase system is normally defined in terms of its line voltage, not its phase voltage, so one normally measures its line voltage by connecting a voltmeter between any two line conductors or terminals. As the line voltages are determined by the supply system, all line voltages should be the same, regardless of which line conductors you choose to place the voltmeter between.The important thing, however, and this is something your voltmeter will NOT tell you, is that the three line voltages are out of phase with each other -each lagging its predecessor by 120 electrical degrees. And this is important, because it is the phase displacement between these voltages, not the magnitude of each voltage, that allows -for example- a three-phase motor to self-start.
How do you measure voltage in a 3 wire single phase system?
For a three-phase, four-wire, system, the line voltage is measured between any pair of line conductors, while the phase voltage is measured between any line conductor and the neutral conductor. For a three-phase, four-wire, system, the line voltage is numerically-equal to the phase voltage, and both are measured between any pair of line conductors.

Where do you place the leads to measure the single phase voltage of a three phase power source?
In delta wiring measure between any two phases.In wye wiring measure between any phase and neutral.Do you know whether you have delta or wye wiring?CommentThe above answer should read 'between any two lines' and 'between any line and neutral'. There is no such thing as a 'phase' conductor!

What is the voltage between neutral and earth if neutral is broken?
Normally, it is zero.Except in very special cases, the neutral and ground (earth) conductors in a building are tied together at one point in the system, so ideally the voltage difference would be zero. The reason that it might not be zero is there is current flowing in the neutral and, thus, voltage drop in the neutral conductor. Since the ground conductor normally never has current flow (unless there is a fault), there will be a difference in voltage equal to the voltage drop across the neutral conductor, which varies with load (current).It should be 0V , but as per our earth pit maintaining that voltage will be varied even also not exceed 5V.

What should the voltage gauge read on a S10 Blazer?
13.9 to 14.2 volts.
What will happen when the terminal of the volmeter are inversed and used to read the voltage of the DC supply?
Depends on the voltmeter. Some meters will display a positive voltage no matter how the leads are attached to the source. Others may indicate a negative voltage if leads are reversed.Another AnswerAn analogue voltmeter will always read downscale (i.e. 'backwards') if connected the wrong way around.Digital voltmeters generally indicate the correct voltage, but display a negative sign to indicate that the polarity is the wrong way around.Don't forget, when we say 'negative voltage', we are referring to its direction. Voltage, which is simply another word for 'potential difference', and it cannot be positive or negative in the sense of 'charge'.
How do you use amp volt meter on solar panels?
The meter is used the same as how the voltage is checked on any equipment. Select the correct voltage range (AC or DC) DC for solar collector and connect the leads to the output. The voltage that you read will be the output of the cell at that particular time.
How do you test polarity with a multimeter?
A: To begin with the leads polarity of the meter must be ascertain. Assuming the red is positive voltage then that lead will have a positive potential to check a diode connect the red lead to the anode and the black to the cathode and it should read some Resistance
What should you have for voltage to the pump on a 2001 kia?
Most fuel pumps should read about 9 volts, but I think I remember some reading about 5 volts. Why do you need to the voltage at the pump?
