linajännitteet

Linajännitteet refers to the nominal voltages used in electrical power distribution systems. These voltages are standardized and vary depending on the application and the country's electrical grid. For example, in many European countries, residential power is typically supplied at a line voltage of 230 volts AC, while in North America, it is commonly 120 volts AC. Industrial and commercial facilities often utilize higher line voltages, such as 400 volts or 480 volts, to power larger machinery and equipment.

The term "linajännite" specifically denotes the voltage between two phases in a three-phase system or the voltage between a phase and neutral in a single-phase system. This is distinct from phase voltage, which is the voltage between a phase and neutral in a three-phase system. Understanding these different voltage levels is crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of electrical devices and systems. Power grids are designed to deliver electricity at specific line voltages to match the requirements of various consumers, from small household appliances to large industrial motors. Deviations from the nominal line voltage can lead to performance issues, damage to equipment, or safety hazards.
