In three phase power line, each phase is 120 degree from the other phase.therefore, when we draw a graph of phases then two phases have positive values then at the same time the third one has negative value so we can calculate and use only two phases at a time.all three phases changes their position every time so the two phase may be phases 1 &2/phases 1&3 or phases 2&3 gives the values and at the same times phase 3 or 2 or 1 will be at negative interval respectively so cannot be calculated or contribute the value. that's the reason we use 440v instead of 660v
The voltage between phase and neutral is called phase voltaltage.The voltage betwee two line is called line voltage .3 phase system is expressed with line voltages. The line votage is 440 volt. Also the voltage between any one phase and neutral for a 3 phase system is 240 volts.
single phase line is 90 degree the three phase line is 120 degree out of phase since three phase wire can be represented by two ways star and Delta while Delta connection has no netural bt star connection has neutral three phase line is nothing but a 3 single phase line the single phase line is used for domestic use and three phase line is used in industrial application
Because 440 is the line voltage of 3 phase
And line voltage is equal to √3 times of phase voltage in a 3 phase star connected system
single phase 240 v is phase voltage of 3 phase system
Voltage are added with vector summation.
In single phase, Voltage = 230 volts
In 3 phase , line voltage in star connection is √3* phase voltage = √3 *230 volts = 400 volts.
In 3 phase , line voltage in delta connection is 230 only.
