When an alternating voltage is applied to a purely resistive circuit, the resulting current is in phase with the voltage.

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.
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.
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.
It depends how they are connected. If they are connected between line conductors then they are measuring line voltages. If they are connected across phases then they are measuring phase voltages.
In a star configuration, often called "Y", the voltage across one winding is from a phase to ground. Phase to phase you have voltage across 2 windings. And at the risk of confusing you, the phase to phase voltage is not double the other because the windings are only 120 degrees out of phase and not 180 degrees. To calculate this you take the voltage of one winding, 120v for example, and multiply by the square root of 3, or about 1.732, and get 208v. Or you take 277v and get 480v.
When an alternating voltage is applied to a purely resistive circuit, the resulting current is in phase with the voltage.
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.

A 3-phase rectifier bridge can be used with a single phase supply, it just means that four of the diodes are not connected. The peak voltage (if a reservoir capacitor is used) is sqrt(2) times the rms supply voltage and the average voltage using inductor smoothing is 0.9 times the rms voltage.

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.
A 'polarity test' is conducted on a single-phase transformer, not a three-phase transformer (or transformer bank). The polarity of a single-phase transformer being important if two transformers are to be connected in parallel, or three transformers are going to be connected to form a three-phase transformer bank.'Angular displacement' is, to a three-phase transformer, what 'polarity' is to a single-phase transformer. So you really should be asking about angular displacement, rather than polarity. Angular displacement, or 'phase displacement', is the angle by which the secondary line voltage lags the primary line voltage.Angular displacement can be determined either by drawing a phasor diagram of the three-phase connection and measuring it, or by looking up the connection in a vector-group chart/table -you would nor normally 'calculate' angular displacement.
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.
Assume you are saying that the current and voltage are in phase and you want to know how power is affected. When Voltage and Current are in phase the Power Factor is 1 and you have maximum power being applied. When Voltage and Current are not in phase, Power Factor decreases from 1 toward zero.
