In a 4160VAC system, the voltage of one leg (phase) is measured as 4160 volts between that leg and the neutral point in a wye configuration, or between that leg and the ground in a delta configuration. However, the phase-to-phase voltage is 4160V, meaning each leg carries the same voltage when measured against the other phases. If you divide the line-to-line voltage by the square root of 3 (approximately 1.732), the phase voltage in a wye system would be about 2400 volts.

What is 7815 voltage regulator?

A LM7815 voltage regulator is a component designed to maintain a constant voltage level, the LM78XX series of voltage regulators are designed for positive inputs and has the ability to drive the current within the circuit up to 1A. The component has three legs: Input leg which can hold up to 36VDC, a leg that leads straight to ground and an output leg with the regulated voltage. For maximum voltage regulation, adding a capacitor in parallel between the ground leg and the output leg will improve efficiency.

What type of three phase voltage provides a stinger or high leg?

Currently, in popular usage, 3 phase systems are arranged in a "Y" or "star" configuration with the same voltage from each leg to ground. Primary sides of transformers are in a delta, "triangle", configuration but this is not the utilized side. In some old systems, the utilized system is delta with the mid point of one winding grounded. The phases at each end of this winding will measure half the volts to ground as from phase to phase. The phase farthest from the grounded winding measures a much higher voltage to ground than phase to phase since, in simple terms, it is measuring the voltage across 1 and 1/2 windings.


How do you find secondary voltage with a ratio of 1 to 200?

If the primary is 1 and the secondary 200 then multiply the primary voltage by 200.


How much current flow in 1 watt bulb?

Everything Depends on the voltage supply ...... Current flow (Amp) = Watt / Voltage the Current flow will be 1 amp if voltage is 1 V the Current flow will be 0.5 amp if voltage is 2 V the Current flow will be 0.25 amp if voltage is 4 V and so on.......

Why do you read no voltage if one leg is still hot when you measure lead to lead?

You don't provide enough information to be certain what you are measuring. If you have a hot leg then by definition you will have a voltage between the hot leg and ground or neutral (if neutral bonded properly to ground in main panel). However, there may be no voltage between hot and some unspecified "floating" wire.


A potentiometer can act as a voltage divider?

Yes. One leg is connected to ground, the other leg is connected to the input, and the tap is the output.


Can there be a different voltage across each component in a circuit?

Yes, if it is a series circuit. In an ideal parallel circuit, there is equal voltage in each leg. In a real circuit, results may vary if there is voltage loss in the wiring.


Is a branch voltage in each branch of a parallel circuit less than the applied voltage?

Yes. In a 240 volt circuit, the total applied voltage is 240 volts but each leg is carrying only 120 volts.


Why do you get 240 volt on 1 leg 2pole breaker box residential power?

To answer this question you have to explain where you are measuring this voltage. Between what two points in the electrical panel. Use the discussion page for help.


What will cause my voltage to be higher on one phase and lower on the other?

If secondary side of the 3 phase transformer has any issue, it would result unbalanced voltage between phases. Other reason could be if the load on one phase is highly different than other phase, it also would result in unbalanced voltage.

What does Lb la n in electrical mean?

I have never come across this terminology in the electrical trade. The letter L is a symbol used to express inductance. The unit of measure is a "Henry"In some documentation the system voltage legs are referred to a A, B, and C. In the electrical trade the letter L is used with a reference number behind it. For example L1, L2 and L3 represent the three legs of a three phase system. Incorporating the letter N into the system would give you a representation of a three phase four wire system where you would obtain a voltage from each leg to the grounded neutral. The voltage from any of the three legs to neutral would be, leg to leg voltage divided by 1.73. This would give you the leg to neutral voltage. For example 480 volts / 1.73 = 277 volts or 600 volts /1.73 = 347 volts.
