380V alternate line

[swiminelectricity]

Hi, Folks,

What does 'alternate line' stand for?

Thank you advance.

Not possible to answer that question without having the words in a context. There is nothing in an ordinary 380 V system with that name.

Where have you seen it used? How?

One can think of many uses where the words "alternate line" is used. But then again, it is not anything typical or exclusive for a 380 V system.

I once tried to pick up a girl in a bar using my "standard line", but had to switch to my "alternate line" after she shot me down.

I threw a line from the ship to the lifeboat, but forgot to fasten my end. I had to then throw an "alternate line".

Relevant to electricity:
I ran 2awg wire for the line side of my 400A service, and after it vaporized, I had to run an "alternate line".

OK, OK, red flag this after you've had your chuckle...
