Let's start with the correct terminology. The three energised, or 'hot', conductors are called 'line' conductors (not 'phase') conductors. which (surprise, surprise!) is why the voltages across them are called 'line voltages'.
In the case of a star (wye) connected, three-phase, four-wire, system each phase is connected between a line and the neutral. And, yes, the line voltage is indeed root-3 (or 1.732) times the phase voltage.
If the lines are labelled a, b, c, and the neutral is labelled N, then line voltage Vab is equal to the phasor (vector) sum of phase voltage Van and phase voltage Vnb, which are displaced from each other by 60 electrical degrees. The length of the resulting phasor is 1.732 times either of these phase voltage.
What else can I help you with?
Is transmission line voltage phase to phase?
Yes usually it would be phase to phase voltage because most transmission lines are set up in a delta configuration. This means that there is no neutral conductor to use as a reference. So any voltage would be measured with reference to another phase.CommentLet's get the terminology correct. The voltages between the three 'hot' lines of a three-phase, three- or four-wire, system are called 'line voltages' even though, in the case of a delta-connected system, they are numerically-equal to the corresponding phase voltages. Therefore, we call the conductors 'line conductors', not 'phase conductors'.There is simply no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' voltage. Just think about it; you can only measure a voltage acrossan individual phase, so how can you possible measure a voltage 'phase-to-phase' -I mean, where would you place a voltmeter to do that?For a delta system, the line voltage (or line-to-line) voltage is numerically equal to the phase voltage (notphase-to-phase). For a star (or 'wye') system, the line voltage is equal to 1.73 x the phase voltage.
What is a y configuration on a 3 phase circuit?
On a wye connection all three ends of the phase winding coils are connected together and grounded. The other end of the three phase winding are connected to the supply voltage.
Does kva equal voltage x current x 1.73 for a 3 phase generator?
Yes, but only for balanced loads (current in all three phases the same value). The voltage value used is the phase to phase voltage.
Basic operation of a 3-phase transformer?
Three Phase transformers have three windings. If connected in Delta, it will have R Y B phase winding, voltage between RY, YB and BR. Phase voltage and line voltage are same. If connected in Star, there will be a neutral as well with RYB. Line voltage and Phase voltage are different. Line voltage = 1.73 x Phase voltage.
You have 230v 3 phase power can you plug a 230v single phase motor into it?
Any two legs of a three phase system are classed as single phase. So yes a single phase motor will operate when connected. Be sure to use the proper motor protection devices to control the motor.
What is phase voltage and line voltage in star connection?
The conductors that connect a three-phase supply to its load are called 'line conductors' or, more simply, 'lines'. The individual generator stator windings, transformer winding, or loads are called 'phases'. Lines and line terminals are identified by colours, letters, numbers, or combinations of letters and numbers. For example, A-B-C. Phases are identified by using the letters assigned to the line terminals between which the phases are connected, e.g A-B, B-C, and C-A. Voltages measured between lines ('line-to-line') are termed 'line voltages', and currents that pass through the lines are called 'line currents'. Voltages measured across a generator's windings, transformer windings, or individual loads, are called 'phase voltages', and the currents that pass through these are called 'phase currents'. For a three-phase, three-wire, system, the phase- and line-voltages are numerically-equal to each other. For a three-phase, four-wire, system, the line voltage is 1.732 times larger than the phase voltage.
Is transmission line voltage phase to phase?
Yes usually it would be phase to phase voltage because most transmission lines are set up in a delta configuration. This means that there is no neutral conductor to use as a reference. So any voltage would be measured with reference to another phase.CommentLet's get the terminology correct. The voltages between the three 'hot' lines of a three-phase, three- or four-wire, system are called 'line voltages' even though, in the case of a delta-connected system, they are numerically-equal to the corresponding phase voltages.

For a star (or 'wye') system, the line voltage is equal to 1.73 x the phase voltage.
How do you tell if you have delta or wye power?
In Europe, low-voltage three-phase distribution is by means of a four-wire system (three line conductors and a neutral) supplied from a wye-connected transformer secondary. In North America, low-voltage is supplied from a delta-connected transformer secondary, one phase of which is centre-tapped and earthed (grounded). The single-phase supply to residences is then supplied by that particular phase, giving 240 V line-to-line and 120 V line-to-neutral. You can tell if you have a delta power when the phase voltage is equal to the line voltage and that you have a star power when the phase voltage =root 3(THE LINE VOLTAGE).
What is a y configuration on a 3 phase circuit?
On a wye connection all three ends of the phase winding coils are connected together and grounded. The other end of the three phase winding are connected to the supply voltage.
What are the phase voltages if the line voltages are 100volts?
The phase voltages in a balanced 3-phase system are equal to the line voltages divided by the square root of 3. Therefore, if the line voltage is 100 volts, the phase voltage would be approximately 57.7 volts.
What is 11 kV single phase?
for USA, Canada and other countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A 11kV single phase line is one phase of a three phase system. The three phase system voltage is found by multiplying 11kV x 1.73. The three phase primary system voltage is 19kV. A transformer with a 11 kV primary can have a secondary of 115/230 depending on the internal connections in the transformer's case.For the UK11 kV is the standard three-phase h.v. distribution voltage in the UK, where it is a line voltage (i.e. it is the voltage measured between any pair of the three line conductors). A single-phase distribution transformer is connected between any two lines, so 'single-phase 11-kV' is simply a connection made between any two lines of an 11-kV three-phase system.As the primary windings of three-phase 11-kV distribution transformers are delta (3-wire) connected, the primary phase voltage is numerically equal to the primary line voltage (11 kV).
What is the difference between line voltage and phase voltage?
The three 'hot' conductors supplying electricity to a three-phase load are called LINES, not 'phases' (although unfortunately the term 'phase' is widely, but incorrectly, used in the field). Phases exist between line and neutral in star, or wye, connected systems, and between lines in a delta, or mesh, connected system. Accordingly, the term 'phase to phase' is quite meaningless. A line voltage, therefore, exists between any two lines. For a star (wye) connected system, a phase voltage exists between any line and the neutral conductor. For a delta (mesh) system, a phase voltage is exactly the same as a line voltage.
Which has the higher voltage - phase or line?
In a three phase three wire system, the phase voltage and line voltage are one in the same just different terminology. In a three phase four wire system, the line voltage is higher than the line to ground voltage. Line to ground is, line voltage divided by 1.73 (square root of three). For example 480volts /1.73 = 277 volts.AnswerIt depends upon the configuration of the three-phase system. For a delta (or mesh) connected 3-wire supply system, the line voltage is exactly the same as the phase voltage. For a wye (or star) connected 4-wire supply system, the line voltage is 1.732 (the square-root of 3) times the phase voltage.By way of explanation, for both wye and delta systems, phase voltages are measured across the windings of a three-phase transformer or across individual loads, whereas line voltages are measured between lines. For a wye-connected system, phase voltages can also be measured between any line and neutral.
What are the volts per phase on a 240 volt system?
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.
On a vessal On a three phase 440v supply what is the voltage on the individulal phases?
Phase voltage is equal to the line to line voltage divided by root 3 or 1.732. So 440 L-L/1.732 = 254V. Your phase voltage is 254V.
Is line to line voltage equal to line voltage?
Yes. By definition, a line-to-line voltage is indeed called a line voltage.For delta-connected, three-wire, systems comprise three line conductors. The line voltage is numerically equal to the phase voltage.For wye-connected, four-wire, systems comprise three line conductors and a neutral conductor. Any line-to-neutral voltage is called a phase voltage. The line voltage is 1.732 times the value of the phase voltage.
What will happen if you use phase to phase voltage for a single phase device?
If a single-phase device is connected to a phase-to-phase voltage, the device may get damaged due to the higher voltage applied. Single-phase devices are designed to operate at a lower voltage compared to phase-to-phase voltage levels typically found in three-phase systems. It is important to match the voltage ratings of the device with the supply voltage to prevent damage.
