Because 3 phase voltage is not algebraic sum it is the vectorial sum. Vijaye Raj A.I.E.M.D

3-phase 400 v is 230 v single phase. That is a 3-phase 4-wire system, with three live wires and a neutral.

The 400v is between any two live wires, while there is 230 v from any live wire to neutral.

With equal current drawn from each of the three phases, the system is balanced and there is no current (and no power loss) in the neutral.

In this case, '440 V' is the nominal line voltage of the three-phase system in question. But there are other 'nominal voltages', such as 400 V in Europe, for example.

What is the minimum voltage of US household mains supply?

240, single phase for houses208 3 phase for comerical property, can be single phase.480 volt for industrial property or 660 volts,all 60 HzUSA calls it single phase but there is actually 2 hot leads coming into the house with a natural and a ground.It is actually two 120 volt 'hots' which are 180° out of phase from each other. Voltage between either of these and ground will be 120 V. Voltage between the two hots is 240 volts. It is single phase because it is pulled off one of the phases from 3-phase, then a center tapped transformer gives the two 'opposite phases' (ground/neutral is off the center tap)In Vietnam we have 440 volts, 3 phase, 50 Hz on the poles.They bring in one hot wire and one ground. I call this single phase,It equals 220 volts in your house.


How can change voltage from 440 v 3 phase to 208 v 3 phase?

I have 12 amps 208/3/60 what would the amps be @ 440/3


How will a 3 phase panel give you 110 volts and 220 volts?

A three phase panel will not give you 110 and 220 volts. A three phase four wire panel will, but not at these voltages. The nearest voltages will be 120 and 208 volts. The 120 volt is the wye voltage of 208 volts. 208/1.73 = 120 volts. A single phase three wire panel will give you 110 and 220 volts.


What is the 11kv phase to earth voltage?

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.


What is voltage phase to phase 380 3 phase?

let me clear difference between phase voltage and line voltage. phase voltage is measure line to neutral and line voltage is measure line to line.there is correct answer that 380 volt is sum of multiply of square root 3 to phase voltage 220 volt.phase volt line volt220 volt x 1.732 = 381 volt230 volt x 1.732 = 400 volt240 volt x 1.732 = 415 voltM.

How do you get single phase 440 from three phase 440?

You Don't. 440volt 3-phase is actually 480 volts, taking a single phase gives 277Volts single phase. To get single phase 440 you would use one leg of three phase 440/760 three phase power.

Why is it stated - 3 phase 440 VAC when one phase voltage is 220 VAC?

In three-phase there are three live wires and a neutral. The voltage of a three-phase system is always quoted as the live-to-live voltage, and the voltage from one live wire to neutral is 57.7% of that. A 440 v 3-ph system has 254 volts between live and neutral. <<>> The question statement is not correct. Two legs from a three phase three wire 440 volt system will still be 440 but classed a single phase. On a three phase four wire system supply, the voltages will be determined by the following equation. 440/(square root of 3) 1.73 = 254 volts. The second single phase voltage attainable from this source connection is any one of the three phase legs to grounded neutral center point. This is known as a wye or star point connected voltage supply. To obtain a 220 volt single phase voltage, the three phase system would have to have a voltage of 220 x 1.73 = 380 volts.


Three phase voltage in india?

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.

Panel box with a 3 pole 4 wire 440 volts 3 phase electric and you need to pull 220 volt single phase with 2 pole 3 wires how do you do it?

Open a discuss question page, more information is needed as to what you are trying to do.


What is the difference between 3 phase 440volts distribution and 3 phase 220v distribution?

About 220 volts. They're just different voltage levels. 440 volt services can provide more power than 220 volt services typically.

How do you change a 3 phase 440 volt motor to a 3 phase 220 volt motor?

You can not change it. 440 volt is by design. However you run it with 220 single phase supply, but it would run far lower power.
