Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.Line voltage is a term that is used to describe the voltage that is used to operate a specific device. A service that comes into a building would be considered line voltage. For a Class 1 circuit the top voltage for low voltage installations is 30 volts at 1000 vA. For a Class 2 circuit the top voltage for low voltage installations is not under 30 volts and not over 60 volts at 100 vA. Voltages used above 750 volts are considered high voltage installations.

What is the difference between low voltage release and low voltage protction?

After a power failure, a device with low voltage protection will not restart automatically after power is restored to normal. This normally means that the breaker must be reset. A device with low voltage release automatically starts when power is returned to normal.

How much voltage in phase to phase?

First of all, the correct term is 'line to line', not'phase to phase'. The line to line voltage is called a line voltage, and its value depends on the electrical standards in your country, and the point in the electrical tranmission/distribution system where it is measured. In the UK, for example, its value could be between 400 kV (high-voltage transmission line) and 400 V (low-voltage distribution line).


What do line voltage thermostats have that low voltage thermostats don't?

Line voltage sometimes varies according to how much load there is from neighbours and other users. When the voltage is high, the water heats more quickly so that the thermostat cuts out sooner, so the amount of energy used ia about the same. <<>> It is the difference in construction of the two thermostats. A line thermostat uses a bi-metal sensor to open and close the line voltage. The room temperature fluctuation has to be greater between the stat turning on to off, as the differential setpoint can not be regulated as fine as a low voltage stat. A low voltage thermostat uses a mercury switch that is operated from a spring that senses the room temperature. Low voltage thermostats do not control the line voltage to the heater but use a remote contactor to open and close the voltage supply to the heater. There is a compensator in the low voltage stat that can be set for the contactor's coil current. This way the temperature generated by the coil of the remote contactor is nulled and the thermostat only reads the room temperature. The differential setpoint on a low voltage thermostat has a finer setting than that of a line thermostat, so a more accurate temperature is maintained.


What is the difference between switchgear and switch yard?

we use switchgear for low voltage while switchyard is use for highvoltage transmission and distribution . There is an other factor known as insulation because for low voltage we should low insulation and for high voltage we need higher insulation.Cost is another factor between both.

What are the differences between high and low voltage in electrical systems?

High voltage and low voltage in electrical systems refer to the amount of electrical potential difference present. High voltage systems have a greater potential difference, typically above 1000 volts, and are used for long-distance power transmission and industrial applications. Low voltage systems have a lower potential difference, typically below 1000 volts, and are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for lighting, appliances, and electronics. The main differences lie in the safety precautions, equipment requirements, and applications of each voltage level.


What are the difference between bus reactor and line reactor?

Bus reactors are the inductors that limit voltage transients between a couple sections of a bus or a couple separate buses. Line reactors are capacitor or user amperage stabilizers placed at points of usage or right before transformers.
