Single Phase 240 120 Volts AC a test meter placed across black wire and Ground wire will read what?
This is because the ground connection is a protective earth ground, not intended to carry current. Since ground and neutral are tied together at the distribution panel, you might expect them to have no potential difference, but impedance in the conductors will result in a voltage drop across neutral, biasing the voltage seen between hot and ground, as opposed to hot and neutral.
What else can I help you with?
How do you convert 3 phase to 220 v single phase?
Single phase 220 V AC(measured Across the line and Neutral) Three wire system having one Live(L),one Neutral(N),one ground's. Two wire system having one Live(L),one Neutral(N). Two phase 220 V AC (measured Across the two phases i.e across Phase RY or across Phase YB or across Phase BR) . Three wire system having tow live (L), one Ground (G). Two wire system having two Live(L). Ramesh P
Where is the neutral for 25kv ac single phase supply used for electric locomotives?
from ground
What is arcing ground?
Arcing Grounds is a phenomenon which is observed in ungrounded three phase systems. In ungrounded three phase systems operating in a healthy balanced conditions, capacitances are formed between the conductors and ground. The voltage across these capacitances is the phase voltage
What is the voltage level of two phase machine in three phase?
From one phase to the next you should see 208 Volts.From any phase to ground you should see 121 Volts.AnswerYou are very unlikely to come across a two-phase machine, as two-phase a.c. systems are archaic. A two-phase system has two phase voltages that are 90 degrees out of phase with each other, and was used many years' ago. These days, you have either single phase or three phase. So it's probably safe to say that there are no two-phase motors about, these days!
Why is residential wiring called single phase if there are 2 phases coming in?
residential wiring are called single phase because the 2 phases coming in are one is neutral and the other is line.the neutral has a potential zero with ground and it is to provide a closed path for the current to flow through..the line is having a potential of 230V with the ground and a line together with a neutral is called a phase
When trouble shooting a single pahse 208 volt hid ballast with your voltmeter you read 120 volts to ground on each phase wire but 0 volts across the phase wires what is wrong?
Sounds like both phase wires are connected to the same phase.
How do you convert 3 phase to 220 v single phase?

How many earth wires are required for single phase motor?
There is only one ground wire needed on any motor, single or three phase.
Where is the neutral for 25kv ac single phase supply used for electric locomotives?
from ground
What are the advantages of using single phase electricity?
Simple hookups to devices you wish to power (2 wires and ground). Most household common devices use single phase.
Does common wire act as ground when hooking up 230 volts single phase?
Not always
What is arcing ground?
Arcing Grounds is a phenomenon which is observed in ungrounded three phase systems. In ungrounded three phase systems operating in a healthy balanced conditions, capacitances are formed between the conductors and ground. The voltage across these capacitances is the phase voltage
What will happen if 2 phase load is connected to generator?
There is no such thing as a two phase load any more. Any two legs from a three phase system are classed as single phase. If this single phase load is connected across the generator it will induce an imbalance in the output voltages of the generator. This is one reason that single phase loads on a three phase generator should be shifted around to find the best possible balance.

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 do you ground one of the phases from three phase three wire in order to make single phase?
To convert a three-phase three-wire system to single-phase, you should ground one of the phases using a grounding rod or electrode. However, please note that this method may not adhere to electrical codes and safety regulations. It is advised to consult with a qualified electrician before attempting any modifications to your electrical system.
How many wires in a single phase motor?
There should be 2 or 3 wires. A hot, a neutral and sometimes a ground.
