240V 3 Phase??
240V 3 Phase??
(OP)
Is there such a thing as 240V 3 phase? I thought 3 phase was only achievable at 208V??
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: 240V 3 Phase??
Most of Europe historically used either 240V or 220V single phase, now standardised at 230V. It's pretty common for 240V 1-phase input variable speed drives to produce an output of 240V 3-phase. In that case a standard 3-phase motor wired for 415V in star connection can be used with 240V 3-phase in a delta connection.
Other than that, with the right transformers you can have pretty much any three phase voltage you want within reason - once you get into the million volt region things get difficult!

There are many other standards usually use bu Industries in Europe it is common to have 600V/1000V system for them.
Voltage levels in Europe goes according to 3F value
0.4KV
1KV
6KV
10KV
35KV
110KV
220KV
400KV
after 400KV we are using DC system because the losses are smaller on that voltage level and it is used by intercontinental connections :)
