Answer / gaurav kumar

in case of 1 phase the voltage is measuered between one phase wire and another neutral. And called phase voltage. Whereas in 3 phase line voltage is measured and used

Answer / sanjeev

voltage means potential difference between two points. In case of single phase potential difference between phase and neutral is 220v.
in case of three phase(R,Y,B) potential difference between R & Y is 220 and Y& B is 220

Hence the voltage offered by a three phase(LT) system is potential difference between Three phases i.e. 220+220=440 volts.
