Nominal transmission and distribution voltages are line voltages. So '66 kV' is a line-to-line voltage. Note that there is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' voltage -the correct term is 'line-to-line'. Using the term, 'phase-to-phase', indicates a lack of understanding of a.c., which is not uncommon! Incidentally, the symbol is 'kV', not 'KV'.
If a single-phase device is connected to a phase-to-phase voltage, the device may get damaged due to the higher voltage applied. Single-phase devices are designed to operate at a lower voltage compared to phase-to-phase voltage levels typically found in three-phase systems. It is important to match the voltage ratings of the device with the supply voltage to prevent damage.
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.
The standard nominal voltage in Canada for a single-phase residential supply is 240/120-V split-phase supply.
The Voltage produced by the generator will be like 3 sets of your home's voltage (assuming we're looking at an outlet and not the 220V at the brkr box).Each phase (sinusoidal wave) will be separated by 120 degrees, so when the 1st phase starts the 2nd phase will start 1/20th of a second later. The 3rd phase then starts 1/40th of a second later, and the 1st phase starts again 1/60th of a second later which is the beginning of the second set of sin waves. This of course is based on the N. American Frequency of 60 hertz which is 60 cycles (waves) per second.AnswerFor a three-phase, three-wire, system the line voltages will be identical to the phase voltages.For a three-phase, four-wire, system the line voltages will be 1.732 times the value of the phase voltages.
Phase voltage is determined by the wiring of transformer that serves the building. To test phase voltage use a volt meter and put one probe to ground and the other to each phase and observe the reading, this will give you a phase to ground voltage reading. Next test phase to phase (1 to 2, 1 to 3, and 2 to 3) to see if it's 208, 240, 277, or 480. Only licensed electricians should perform these tests. DAW
It is the same as phase to neutral. As the neutral is earthed at the electricity suppliers transformer.
It depends on the voltage and on whether it's single-phase or three-phase.
There is phase to phase voltage in 3 phase system.AnswerYou don't get voltage 'phase-to-phase'; it's 'line-to-line'!
The first figure indicates the phase to neutral or ground voltage and the second is the phase to phase voltage. i.e. Vph-ph = 1.732Vph-n
3 phase cable is transposed to minimize the effect of leakage/capacitance current.
If a single-phase device is connected to a phase-to-phase voltage, the device may get damaged due to the higher voltage applied. Single-phase devices are designed to operate at a lower voltage compared to phase-to-phase voltage levels typically found in three-phase systems. It is important to match the voltage ratings of the device with the supply voltage to prevent damage.
The cable sheathing is earthed as a protection method in case of single-line-to-ground, double line-to-ground or three phase faults. This prevents damage to plant and personnel.
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.
The formula to use is, phase voltage /1.73 = phase to neutral (ground) voltage.CommentThere is no such thing as a 'phase to phase', or 'phase to neutral' voltage. The correct terms are 'line to line' and 'line to neutral'. So the above answer should read: line voltage/1.73= line to neutral voltage = phase voltage.
If two phase voltages are the same voltage and the same phase angle, the the resultant voltage will be twice the voltage.
A single-phase cable will have a line and a neutral conductor and, possibly, but not necessarily, an earth (ground) conductor. A high-voltage three-phase cable will have three line conductors. A low-voltage three-phase cable is likely to have three line conductors and a neutral conductor.
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).
