Phase to phase voltage is 1.732 (the square root of 3) times the phase to star point (neutral) line voltage.

e.g. if the line voltage is 220V

phase voltage = 1.732x220 = 380V (approx)

Additional Answer

You might also like to know that the line voltage leads the phase voltage by 30 electrical degrees. And, incidentally, the correct expressions are 'line-to-line' not 'phase-to-phase', and 'line-to-neutral' not 'phase-to-neutral' (think about it, a line voltage is measured from the junctions between adjacent phases, so they cannot be 'phase to phase'!)

How voltage is reduced on a star connection?

In a star (or wye) connection, the line voltage is reduced compared to the phase voltage because the phase voltages are connected to a common neutral point. Each phase voltage is equal to the line voltage divided by the square root of three (approximately 0.577 times the line voltage). This configuration allows for a balanced load and provides a stable voltage supply, making it suitable for various applications in three-phase systems. Additionally, this setup helps to minimize the risk of voltage imbalances in the system.


How can three types of supply be obtained from the secondary side of a delta star transformer where the supply voltage is 11000 V?

The standard three-phase distribution transformer in the UK is a delta/star connection with a rated primary line voltage of 11 kV, and a nominal secondary line voltage of 400 V, giving a secondary phase voltage of 230 V.So, the secondary provides a three-phase, four-wire, system comprising three line conductors and a neutral conductor. The line-to-line (line voltage) voltage is 400 V and the line-to-neutral (phase voltage) voltage is 230 V.There are not 'three types' of supply obtained from this arrangement.


What is the voltage to ground of 13800 volts line to line?

On a three phase system with a line to line voltage of 13800, a wye connection will give you a voltage of, 13800/1.73 = 7977 volts to ground.


Why is star connection used in a three phase transformer?

The power of all three phases can be transmitted on three conductors.A star connection, as opposed to a delta, provides a grounding reference. Also, for ground faults on the secondary (assuming no delta third winding, or source third winding) will be a direct ratio similar to phase faults, instead of 57%. Another reason is to avoid the inherent phase shift involved in a delta/star configured transformer.Another AnswerA 'star-connected' secondary is the standard European connection for a three-phase distribution transformer, as it provides a line voltage of 400 V together with a phase voltage (i.e. line to neutral) of 230 V.


Why neutral for High voltage?

High voltage transmission and distribution lines utilise three-phase electricity. There are two commonly-used connections used in this system, termed a 'delta' and a 'star' (or 'wye') connection. A delta connection provides three energised conductors, termed 'line conductors', while a star connection provides three energised conductors ('line conductors') together with a neutral conductor. However, in the case of a star connection, provided the load is balanced, no current flows through the neutral conductor. In the case of high-voltage transmission and distribution lines, their loads are very close to being balanced, so there is no need to provide a neutral in the case of a star-connected system, as any slight imbalance can be compensated for in slightly different line currents.

How is the neutral point in a star connection created?

In a distribution transformer's star-connected secondary, the common point of connection is called the 'star point' and is connected to earth. The star point then provides the neutral connection for the transformer secondary, providing a return path for any unbalanced currents due to an unbalanced three-phase load.This arrangement provides a four-wire distribution system, comprising three line conductors and one neutral conductor (in addition, there are various methods of providing an earth connection to consumers). The line-to-line voltage is called a line voltage (in the UK, 400 V), while a line-to-neutral voltage is called a phase voltage (in the UK, 230 V). The line voltage being 1.732 x phase voltage.


Why in a star connection phase voltage is 1.73times of line voltage?

It isn't. It's the other way around. The line voltage is 1.732 times the phase voltage. The figure results when you vectorially add the relevant phase voltages.

What is line voltage and line current in star connection define?

In star the voltage from line to neutral is 1/sqrt(3) times the nominal voltage, while the load current equals the line current. In delta the voltage between lines is the nominal voltage, while the load current is 1/sqrt(3) times the line current (for a balanced load). So a delta load needs 3 times the resistance compared to a star load of the same power.

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.


Why does an electromagnetic brake designed for a star connection not work in delta?

Probably the reason is in the different voltages between the star and delta connection voltages. An electromagnetic brake designed for the lower voltage of the star connection would burn out or open when introduced to the higher voltage of the delta connection.
