230 volts, Single Phase, 3wire

[bobby ocampo]

Other than the National Electrical Code? What other standards will show the definition of 230 volts, single phase, 3wire? Any reference standard?

 

[mivey]

What kind of definition? What parameters are you looking for?

 

[mivey]

In the mean time, there are many standards that will detail different things. Most utilities have their own construction standards. RUS has standards for borrowers. IEEE publishes standards. EEI publishes a metering standard. This list goes on but it depends on what are you looking for in particular.

I am looking for IEEE reference standard that will show the meaning of 230 volts, single phase, 3wire

 

[mivey]

I am looking for IEEE reference standard that will show the meaning of 230 volts, single phase, 3wire

Try 141, the red book. If you want a better description with how it is metered, use the EEI Handbook for Electricity Metering

I didn't know there was a meaning to 230V single phase, 3 wire. What exactly are you looking for....

Something tells me what you may find defined (in a current standard) will be 120/240 volts single phase 3 wire or something very close to that.

120 and 240 are typical nominal voltages for supply.

115 and 230 are typical nominal input ratings for utilization equipment.

'Nominal' means the 'name' of the system.

Utilization and service are different voltage requirements under the same nominal voltage. So 'nominal utilization' is an incorrect statement.

ANSI Standard C84.1L Electric Power Systems and Equipment ? Voltage Ranges defines standard electrical equipment voltage ratings and tolerance limits for steady-state ac electrical systems from 100 V to 1200 kV. The nominal system single-phase voltages under 600 V are 120, 208, 240, 277, and 480 V. For each nominal system voltage, there are two voltage ranges, Range A, or the ideal voltage tolerances, and Range B, which includes Range A but goes beyond the limits of Range A on both the high and low ends.

Within each range are service and utilization voltages. The service voltage specifies tolerances for delivered voltage to the service entrance; the utilization voltage limits specify voltage tolerances for electrical equipment.

230 volts is an IEC voltage used over seas. 3 wires would dictate a TN-S supply.

Perhaps consider IEEE 100

ANSI C84.1 Table 1 lists all nominal system voltages.

I don't have a good link, but single-phase three wire is 240V nominal at the service point.

I agree with the others that 230V is the utilization voltage.

It seems like such a simple request doesn't it? I have seen this asked on multiple occasions for more than one question but very little clarification is given. Kind of makes it hard to help when the OP won't explain.

Thanks Sir. what does EEI means?

Thanks Sir. what does EEI means?

To Me it means "Edison Electrical Institute" Google it for more information

Yes.
