Question: In a three-phase, four-wire wye-connected system, what is the relationship between the phase voltage and the line voltage?

Answer options:

  • Line voltage = Phase voltage
  • Line voltage = Phase voltage / √3 ✅ Line voltage = Phase voltage × √3
  • Line voltage = Phase voltage × 2

Correct answer: Line voltage = Phase voltage × √3

Explanation: In a wye-connected system, the line voltage (measured between any two line conductors) is greater than the phase voltage (measured from any line conductor to neutral) by a factor of the square root of 3 (approximately 1.732).
