Yes usually it would be phase to phase voltage because most transmission lines are set up in a delta configuration. This means that there is no neutral conductor to use as a reference. So any voltage would be measured with reference to another phase.
Comment
Let's get the terminology correct. The voltages between the three 'hot' lines of a three-phase, three- or four-wire, system are called 'line voltages' even though, in the case of a delta-connected system, they are numerically-equal to the corresponding phase voltages. Therefore, we call the conductors 'line conductors', not 'phase conductors'.
There is simply no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' voltage. Just think about it; you can only measure a voltage acrossan individual phase, so how can you possible measure a voltage 'phase-to-phase' -I mean, where would you place a voltmeter to do that?
For a delta system, the line voltage (or line-to-line) voltage is numerically equal to the phase voltage (notphase-to-phase). For a star (or 'wye') system, the line voltage is equal to 1.73 x the phase voltage.
The nominal voltage in the UK is 400/230 V. That is 400 V line-to-line (i.e. line voltage), and 230-V line-to-neutral (i.e. phase voltage). Allowable variation is +10% and -6%.
Yes. 230V line to line is considered single phase power. The 115v half part of that is called split phase. It should not be called two phase, as it is one phase that has been center tapped and grounded at the neutral point - it is still one phase power.Answer230 V is the standard nominal voltage for residences in Europe. 230 V is the line-to-neutral voltage (phase voltage). Low-voltage distribution is by three-phase, four-wire, system with a nominal line voltage of 400 V and a nominal phase voltage of 230 V.
It isn't. It's the other way around. The line voltage is 1.732 times the phase voltage. The figure results when you vectorially add the relevant phase voltages.
let me clear difference between phase voltage and line voltage. phase voltage is measure line to neutral and line voltage is measure line to line.there is correct answer that 380 volt is sum of multiply of square root 3 to phase voltage 220 volt.phase volt line volt220 volt x 1.732 = 381 volt230 volt x 1.732 = 400 volt240 volt x 1.732 = 415 voltM.

Transmission and distribution voltages are normally expressed in terms of line voltages, so the answer is that the figure you quote is a line voltage. Incidentally, do you really mean 230 megavolts for a transmission voltage?? And the symbol of kilovolt is 'kV', not 'kv'.
Transmission voltage is typically specified as a phase-to-phase voltage, which is the voltage measured between two of the three phases in a three-phase power system. This is the standard method of specifying transmission voltages in electrical systems.
There is phase to phase voltage in 3 phase system.AnswerYou don't get voltage 'phase-to-phase'; it's 'line-to-line'!
First of all, the correct term is 'line to line', not'phase to phase'. The line to line voltage is called a line voltage, and its value depends on the electrical standards in your country, and the point in the electrical tranmission/distribution system where it is measured. In the UK, for example, its value could be between 400 kV (high-voltage transmission line) and 400 V (low-voltage distribution line).
The phase-to-phase voltage of a 66kV earthed cable would be 66kV. Earthed cables typically have the same voltage rating for phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground connections. The neutral point of the cable is connected to ground for safety and operational reasons.
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.
Phase, if you are referring to line, as power line from pole.
Phase to phase voltage is 1.732 (the square root of 3) times the phase to star point (neutral) line voltage.e.g. if the line voltage is 220Vphase voltage = 1.732x220 = 380V (approx)Additional AnswerYou might also like to know that the line voltage leads the phase voltage by 30 electrical degrees. And, incidentally, the correct expressions are 'line-to-line' not 'phase-to-phase', and 'line-to-neutral' not 'phase-to-neutral' (think about it, a line voltage is measured from the junctions between adjacent phases, so they cannot be 'phase to phase'!)
To match 2 phase line voltage it has to be the same voltage.
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.
Phase voltage is not twice line voltage in a three-phase system because the phase voltage is the voltage measured across an individual phase in a balanced system, while the line voltage is the voltage measured across any two phases. In a balanced three-phase system, the line voltage is √3 times the phase voltage, not twice.
First of all, there is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' voltage. The correct term is 'line-to-line' voltage. Secondly, without knowing what you mean by 'overall voltage', there is no way of answering your question.
In a 3 phase system, the voltage measured between any two phase is called line to line voltage.And the voltage measured between line to neutral is called phase to neutral (line to neutral) voltage.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' or a 'phase-to-neutral' voltage. The correct terms are 'line-to-line' and 'line-to-neutral'.The voltage between any two line conductors is called a line voltage.In a three-phase, three-wire, system, the line voltage is numerically equal to the phase voltage.In a three-phase, four-wire, system, the voltage between any line conductor and the neutral conductor is called a phase voltage. The line voltage is 1.732 times larger than the phase voltage.
