Wye-Connected

A method of connecting three-phase motors and generators where the end of each of the three coils is connected to form a 'Y' shape, also known as a star connection.

Line Voltage

The voltage present in the electrical power transmission lines available for end users or machinery.

Phase Voltage

The voltage measured in a single phase of a multi-phase system, often used in the analysis of electrical power distribution.
