What are the standard colors for the Hots in a 3 phase 60Hz mains supply in the US and are these same colors also standard in other countries which use 60Hz 3 phase supplies?
For 120/208v systems the colors are black - red - blue with a white neutral. For 277/480v and higher systems the colors are brown - orange - yellow with a grey neutral. Countries outside of North America generally use different colors.
Is it possible to connect 3 phase 440 V without neutral line to the machine having 3 phase 4 wires with neutral line?
No, it is not possible to connect a 3-phase 440 V system without a neutral line to a machine that requires a 3-phase 4-wire connection with a neutral line. The neutral line must be present in both systems for proper operation and safety. Trying to connect them without the neutral line could cause damage to the machine and pose a safety hazard.
How many circuits can share one neutral?
Multiple circuits can typically share one neutral as long as the currents do not exceed the capacity of the neutral wire. This practice is common in residential electrical installations, especially in split-phase systems where two circuits share a neutral. It is important to follow local electrical codes and regulations when combining circuits on a shared neutral.
When phase and neutral will short means what will be the voltage in neutral?
If the phase and neutral wires are shorted together, the voltage in the neutral wire will be the same as the phase voltage. This is because the short circuit effectively bypasses any impedance or resistance in the circuit, causing the potential difference between the phase and neutral wires to be equal.
What is neutral in electricity in India?
Neutral in electricity in India is the zero current phase wire that provides a return path to the current. If it is a 3-phase star connection then the common point to which all the phases are connected becomes the neutral. It may or may not have a ground potential depending on phase balance. Generally neutral has zero potential as all the phases are 120 electrical degrees apart and thus electrically balanced. But in casee of a fault the neutral voltage may exceed the ground potential which may be harmful. Therefore it is preferred to ground the neutral to avoid accidents.

What are the standard European wire colors used for electrical wiring?
The standard European wire colors used for electrical wiring are brown for live or phase, blue for neutral, and green/yellow for earth or ground.
Why neutral is not requied in 3 phase?
As far as I understand, you don't need neutral line for connecting appliances that is 3-phase compilant. You only need the neutral line to connect a single phase appliance, which you connect along with one of the three lines.
Why three phase?
Because a three-phase system needs half the amount of wire to transmit power compared to three single-phase systems. With a balanced three-phase system the three live wires are phased so that the sum of the currents is always zero, which means that if the three neutral wires are combined, the current in the neutral is zero. Therefore the original three neutral wires can be removed, leaving only the three live wires. In practice a neutral wire is still included in three-phase four-wire systems when the load is potentially unbalanced, as for example in neighbouring houses which use different phases of a three-phase system for their individual single-phase supplies.
Is it possible to connect 3 phase 440 V without neutral line to the machine having 3 phase 4 wires with neutral line?
No, it is not possible to connect a 3-phase 440 V system without a neutral line to a machine that requires a 3-phase 4-wire connection with a neutral line. The neutral line must be present in both systems for proper operation and safety. Trying to connect them without the neutral line could cause damage to the machine and pose a safety hazard.
If in the three phase connection phase to phase voltage is 400v what will be the phase neutral voltage?
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.
What is the difference between 1 2 and 3 phase?
The main difference between single-phase and three-phase power systems is the number of conductors or wires used to distribute electrical power. Single-phase systems have one live wire and one neutral wire, while three-phase systems have three live wires and one neutral wire. Three-phase power is often used in industrial settings for its ability to provide a more stable power supply and handle higher loads more efficiently compared to single-phase power.
Why do you balance single phase loads across a 3-phase supply system?
On a Delta 3-phase you connect the single phase loads between pairs of the 3-phases. Warning both sides of these loads will be hot! You may want to use 3 isolation transformers so that the real loads have a neutral line.On Y 3-phase you connect the single phase loads between one of the 3-phases and neutral.In each case to balance the loads, try to put similar loads on each phase (or pair of phases).
How many circuits can share one neutral?

It is important to follow local electrical codes and regulations when combining circuits on a shared neutral.
How do you get 277 volts from a 480 volt line?
All three phase four wire systems have the ability to produce a voltage to ground or neutral. Take any phase voltage be it primary or secondary and divide it by the sq. root of 3 which equals (1.73) and you will obtain the phase to ground or neutral voltage. The ground and neutral should be of the same potential and when talking about electrical installations these two words get interchanged quite often. Some three phase secondary voltages are 208, 480 and 600 volts. Electricians will talk about voltages of 120/208, 277/480 and 347/600. The first number is the phase to neutral voltage and the second number is the phase to phase voltage.
When phase and neutral will short means what will be the voltage in neutral?
If the phase and neutral wires are shorted together, the voltage in the neutral wire will be the same as the phase voltage. This is because the short circuit effectively bypasses any impedance or resistance in the circuit, causing the potential difference between the phase and neutral wires to be equal.
What is difference between phase and neutral?
Phase is just like as +ve terminal & neutral is just like -ve terminal in equivalent dc circuit. In AC, lines the higher voltage terminal is called phase & lower voltage terminal is known as neutral.
