Electrician Red Seal · Question

A three-phase wye-connected generator is supplying a balanced resistive load. The line-to-neutral voltage is measured at 240 V. What is the approximate line-to-line voltage?

In a wye-connected system, the line-to-line voltage is approximately 1.732 times the line-to-neutral voltage. Therefore, 240 V * 1.732 ≈ 415.68 V, which is appr

Question: A three-phase wye-connected generator is supplying a balanced resistive load. The line-to-neutral voltage is measured at 240 V. What is the approximate line-to-line voltage?

Answer options:

  • 208 V
  • 240 V ✅ 416 V
  • 480 V

Correct answer: 416 V

Explanation: In a wye-connected system, the line-to-line voltage is approximately 1.732 times the line-to-neutral voltage. Therefore, 240 V * 1.732 ≈ 415.68 V, which is approximately 416 V. The other options are incorrect based on this relationship.
