phase to ground voltage calculator

Calculate phase-to-ground voltage in single-phase and three-phase systems. Essential for power distribution, grounding checks, and electrical safety.

3 phase voltage to ground

In three-phase circuits, to obtain phase-to-ground voltage from line-to-line voltage, divide that voltage by sqrt{3}. In single-phase circuits use the line-to-neutral voltage.

Formula & Table Summary:

  • Single Phase: VPG = VLN
  • Three Phase: VPG = VLL / √3

electrical grounding voltage

A Phase to Ground Voltage Calculator can be used to check the voltage between a live conductor and ground on a single or three-phase circuit as a safety and equipment verification mechanism.The calculator can be applied by engineers, electricians, and students troubleshooting a power distribution network on the grounding, motors, and grounding checks. Just key the type of system and voltage and you will get the results immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions - phase to ground voltage calculator:

What is phase-to-ground voltage?

It is the voltage measured between a live phase conductor and ground (earth).

How to calculate phase-to-ground voltage in 3-phase systems?

Divide line-to-line voltage by √3.

Is phase-to-ground voltage the same as line-to-neutral?

Yes, in balanced systems.

Why is phase-to-ground voltage important?

It helps ensure safety, prevent overvoltage, and match equipment ratings.

What is the phase-to-ground voltage of 400V 3-phase?

Approximately 230V.

What happens if phase-to-ground voltage is too high?

It may indicate a fault or incorrect grounding.

Can phase-to-ground voltage be zero?

Only in a fault or open circuit condition.

What is V_LL in the formula?

V_LL is line-to-line voltage.

Why divide by √3 in 3-phase?

Because the phase voltage is the projection of line voltage in a balanced system.

Does grounding type affect voltage?

Yes, especially in ungrounded or high-resistance grounded systems.
