∙ 11y agoThe line-to-neutral (not 'phase-to-neutral'!) voltage on a 400V 3-Phase wye-connected system is 230V.
Line voltage is the voltage as measured between any two (2) line conductors (hence its name!). Line voltage is often referred to as the 'line-to-line voltage'.
Phase voltage is the voltage as measured between any single line and neutral. Phase voltage is often referred to as a 'line-to-neutral' voltage.
"400V" on a 400V 3-Phase wye-connected power supply indicates its line voltage. Line voltage in a wye system is always the phase voltage multiplied by the square-root of "3" (1.732) and reflects the vector sum of two individual phase voltages present in a three phase system.
Thusly, if the line voltage is "400V", then the phase voltage is 400V divided by the square-root of "3" (1.732), which is 230V.
Examples of this for North American power systems are 120/208V, 277/480V and 347/600V. Examples for other areas of the world are 220/380V, 230/400V and 240/415V.

∙ 13y agoTo find peak voltage multiply the RMS voltage of 400 by 1.414.
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.
Floating neutral in 3 phase supply is undesirable as if the same thing occurs then there will be bad effect for all single phase equipment which we are using as phase to neutral voltage will exceed from its normal value and it will harm the equipments.
240V. 415 / 1.73 = 240
415V 3 phase is the line to line voltage. The line to neutral of this supply is 230V single phase. Therefore you use one of the phases and the neutral.
The current is the same in the three live wires. The voltage can be described as the line voltage (phase to neutral) or the phase voltage (phase to phase) which is larger by a factor of sqrt(3). So a line voltage of 230 v corresponds to a phase voltage of 400 v.

A single-phase supply is obtained between any two line conductors or between a line and neutral conductor of a three-phase supply. To obtain a three-phase supply from a single-phase source is far more difficult, and requires additional equipment.
To calculate phase-to-earth voltage on a 11 kV system, divide the voltage by the square root of 3 (1.732). So, the phase-to-earth voltage would be around 6350 volts.
A single phase supply can be obtained between any pair of line conductors or between a line conductor and a neutral conductor.
The current is the same in the three live wires. The voltage can be described as the line voltage (phase to neutral) or the phase voltage (phase to phase) which is larger by a factor of sqrt(3). So a line voltage of 230 v corresponds to a phase voltage of 400 v.
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.
The formula you are looking for is - phase voltage/1.73 = phase to neutral voltage.
In a three-phase system, the voltage is measured between any two of the three phase conductors. The voltage between two phases in a 3-phase system is higher at 440v compared to a single-phase system where the voltage is measured between one phase and a neutral wire, resulting in 230v. The higher voltage in three-phase systems allows for more power to be transmitted efficiently over long distances.
The typical single phase voltage in Canada is 120 volts.
