Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.
Standard voltages are used so that equipment can be produced cheaply in quantity. It is not economic to use a lot of different voltages.
The low-voltage standards for electricity in Europe is 230 v single phase, 400 v 3-phase.

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.
Low voltage in North America 120/240 single phase. Main three phase voltages are 120/208, 277/480 and 347/600. Any leg to ground on the three phase or leg to leg voltages can also be classed as single phase.

How do you calculate mf in 3 pahse meter?
How do you calculate mf with this following ct ratio 1. 75/5A, VA 5, Class 5.0, 660v. 2. 250/5A, VA 10, Class 1.0, 660V 3. 3200/5A, VA15, Class 1, 660v the meter ratio is 5/5A.
Why 3-phase voltage is 440V instead of 660V?
Three-phase is transmitted at many different voltages but a 440 v 3-ph supply has 440 v between the phase wires by convention and is used in supplying power to groups of houses or small businesses. The voltage between any of the phases and neutral is 440/sqrt(3) which equals 254 v. A typical 440 v 3-ph transformer might be able to supply 700 amps, which gives 180 kVA, enough for about 90 houses.
