To all the Engineering students in the house what converts 415v from transformer to 240v

415 is the line voltage, 240 is a phase voltage.

Usually the output of your transformer is distributed to our homes on poles carry 4 wires. Those wires are:

R - red line
Y - yellow line
B - blue line
N - Neutral (often at the bottom)

The voltage across each of the RYB lines and the Neutral is 240V (also called the phase voltage) while the voltage across each pair, RY, YB, RB is 415V.( called line voltage)

Our regular homes requre just 240v for almost everything we do at home. That is why either RN, YN, BN (single phase) is connected to our homes from the poles.

On the other hand, people that use 3phase machines such as induction machines will require more that 240V to power their devices, hence they need the full 415v (RYB 3phase) to be able to operate these machines.

Engineers in the house, forgive any blunders I have made.

If you don't already have a job or would be interested.

I am interested in offering you a trainer position in a skill acquisition center in Lagos.

Send your resume and contact me on liadiyemi5@gmail.com

Let's discuss further.

Regards.

What is the convertion formular
Re: What Converts 415v From Transformer To 240v by emoboy4u: 3:22pm On Oct 28, 2020
Aboks:

What is the convertion formular
Line voltage/ √3 = phase voltage.
415/√3 = 239.****

you guys are probably doing EEEN203. There are lots and lots of books.

1. Just Google
2. Visit Electrical Departmental Library.
3. Google more

That was 2016/17 session. Now in 500L. I just need it for personal purpose.
Tharaja is too extensive (very in-depth), therefore bulky indeed!

Been long to go Samaru as a result it the lockdown and the ASUU-FG wahala. Though staying within Zaria metropolitan. All is norm within and around us.
Hopes yours also?

Download theraja online, the one I have on my PC is about 500mb. Though, I collected from someone.
