230V + 230V = 400V?? 3-phase Power Explained

I'm no way an expert at electronics. I wanted to upload the video because I thought the video might be helpful for someone having questions about three-phase power.

Another way to say it might be, in sign wave 3 phase the maximum difference in potential is 400V because they’re not in line with each other.

[@TheEscape2012]

wow this is the best and shortest explanaition i could find about that! Thank you!

[@AriOjala]

Thank you for your feedback! I tried to keep it as simple as possible.

[@geofferyromany4634]

the explanation is good for those who already have a basic understanding.

[@henrymcvey6538]

That didn’t really explain anything sadly.

[@kamaransabir7997]

is an easy way to explain well done great explanation

[@ceilingwalker1]

Nice. Thanks

[@nyeinchanzaw6936]

Thanks so much

[@ceilingwalker1]

Additionally, if the phases were 180 degrees shifted, you would get the 460 volts but they're 120 degrees shifted.

[@Walhstrain]

And what is voltage of 3 phases together?

[@okaro6595]

Voltage us always between two points.

[@MakeThings]

Good explanation Ari, not that I need it in the US. We still love our 120. 😣

[@AriOjala]

Principal is the same when you would wire a 240v socket for a dryer or a stove in the US.
Edit. From what I understand the two phases on the American breaker panel are opposite to each other, so thats why you'll get 240V from two 120V wires.

[@MakeThings]

Ari Ojala no, you’re right. I’m just a little jealous we don’t use 220 often enough for me to use this.

[@finlanderxx]

@@MakeThings Some apartments in the US do get 3-phase power in which case it would be 208V between the phases.

[@gergolukacsik3818]

Simple ctg(30)

[@ppal64]

What is broke ? Voltage is measured across.

[@MalindoWe]

I hope so too

[@Walhstrain]

And what is voltage of 3 phases together?

[@ndear2955]

It's still 400v with all 3 phases connected, such as a motor or large heating element

[@Walhstrain]

@@ndear2955 too late but thanks

[@viisteist1363]

why are u only measuring 2 phases when the system has 3 phases?

[@BradleyLayton]

The system is symmetric: V_A-N = V_B-N = V_C-N = 230 V and V_A-B = V_B-C = V_C-A = 400 V.

[@okaro6595]

You can measure the voltage only between two points.

[@Walhstrain]

And what does 3 phase do any useful or does any thing run 3phases and what is voltage then?

[@lucboerboom2645]

haha this does not clear it it up to be honest. This is all one big wizard show
