If single phase voltage level is 230V than why three phase
voltage level is not 660V ?, but it is only 440V.

Answer Posted / umesh chandra bhuyan

Answer is very simple,so don't think too much on this.we know voltage is the potential difference between two points or levels. So that it is always measured in two wires only. So that multimeter have 2 probe only.so in single phase it is potential difference between one phase (higher potential zone) and a neutral (zero potential zone).this all about phase voltage. In case of line voltage (3phase system) this is the difference between phase to phase.all 3 phases are 120' out of phase. Example-when r phase reaches its maximum y phase is just behind it but b phase is nearer to zero as it just starts.so all two phase are act as incoming and other behave as return for other two.

Hope u will satisfy........

in a solar power plant,we are going to step up the voltage 350V to 33kv, and to 132kv GSS. i want to ask that if it is possible that 315v/33kv is not possible because we also use 315v/11kv. or it should be 415v/33kv? is it effects generation or losses?  the second question is-generation is depends on LV winding? or LV winding design for generation voltage?

As we use capacitior bank in 3ph ckt for improvement of PF, why not we use capacitor in single phase domestric use, at our house their are many inductive equipments,like fan,mixer,tube choke,air conditioner they also draw PF... by using capacitor can they improve PF. if yes--what are advantage and how to connect a capactor in single ph,and which type of capacitor if no- what are disadvantages.
