Electrical Layout
The electrical plan is sometimes called as
electrical drawing or wiring diagram. It is a
type of technical drawing that delivers visual
representation and describes circuits and
electrical systems. It consists of electrical
symbols and lines that showcase the
engineer's electrical design to its clients. In
short, an electrical plan describes the
position of all the electrical apparatus.

Phase-to-Phase → Voltage between two phases. (Line voltage)

Phase-to-Neutral → Voltage between one phase and the neutral wire. (Phase Voltage)

Just this indicates how the given voltage is measured between two phases or between
phase and the neutral). Single Phase power refers to a two wire (AC) power circuit. Typically
there is a LINE or power wire and one NEUTRAL wire. In our country, 230V is the standard
single phase voltage with one 230V line and one neutral wire. Energy flows through the line
into the load and returns through the neutral wire.
star/y connection:
Here voltage between line/phase R and Y is
V(ry) which is the line voltage. V(yb) and V(br) is
also line voltage. And the N is neutral. The
voltage between any phase and neutral is the
phase voltage. In case of star connection the
relationship between line voltage and phase
voltage is given by
Line voltage V(L) = √3*phase voltage V(ph)
delta/Δ connection:

In delta connection there's no neutral point.


The line voltage and phase voltage is same
in delta connection.
three Phase transformer secondary
Three-phase, also written as 3-phase or 3φ supplies
are used for electrical power generation, transmission,
and distribution, as well as for all industrial uses.
Three-phase supplies have many electrical advantages
over single-phase power and when considering three-
phase transformers we have to deal with three
alternating voltages and currents differing in phase-
time by 120 degrees as shown below.
