We deliver power on the power grid as an AC voltage. That's alternating current, and that's what is available in your home.
A power line carries electrical current from the power source to the load, delivering energy for use in homes and businesses. In contrast, a neutral line provides a return path for the current, completing the electrical circuit and ensuring safety by stabilizing the voltage. While the power line typically carries high voltage, the neutral line is grounded to prevent electrical shock and maintain a balanced system.
The energy supplied by a power line is determined by its load, not by its voltage. For a given energy demand by its load, the higher the liine's voltage, the lower the resulting load current.
A lamp can be run by power from a telephone line.
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).
Because power is power. If you maintain the same power, while increasing the voltage, you must decrease current. P=IE.

Phase, if you are referring to line, as power line from pole.
The voltage present in a power grid line is more than enough to kill you.
Line regulation is a measure of the ability of the power supply to maintain its output voltage given changes in the input line voltage. Line regulation is expressed as percent of change in the output voltage relative to the change in the input line voltage.
Power = Current * Voltage * Power FactorAbove expression can further be explore as :1. For DC CircuitsPower = Current * Voltage2. For Single Phase AC CircuitPower = Current * Voltage * Power Factor3. For Three Phase AC CircuitPower = Line Current * Line Voltage * Power Factor

With a three-phase system the voltage quoted is the line-to-line voltage between any two live lines. To find the line-to-neutral voltage divide by 1.732 which is sqrt(3). The power supplied from each phase is the current times the line-to-neutral voltage (times the power factor if less than 1). To find the total power when the currents are equal, multiply by 3.
For a line of given cross section and material, the power capacity will depend on the current carried, since resistance heating is proportional to (current)2 . For a given power, current is inversely proportional to voltage. Thus raising the voltage from 69 to 390 kv would reduce the current by a factor 69/390 = 0.177 , for the same power transmission, and reduce the heating losses by 0.1772 = 0.031. So you can see why high voltage for long distance lines is essential. Obviously the limiting current on a power line has to be set by economic and practical considerations, but if this is predetermined and set, the limiting power will be that which produces that limiting current, and power = voltage x current. The actual limiting curent will depend on the line cross section, material, and length. The power that a line of a certain voltage can carry is calculated by using the following formula: (2.55×(KV)2 /1000) MW.
Phase to Phase voltageCorrection to the above answer:There is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' or 'phase-to-ground' voltage. The correct terms are 'line-to-line' (or 'line voltage') and 'line-to-ground' (or 'phase voltage'). Transmission-line voltages are line-to-line (or 'line') voltages.
