What is AC power line?

An alternating current (AC) power cord, or simply AC cord, is a cord used to connect a device to a power supply, such as a wall outlet. These types of cords are often used in electronic devices such as desktop personal computers (PCs), laptops, printers, and small kitchen appliances.

What is the voltage between line to line?

The conductors between a voltage source and a load are called lines, and the voltage between any two lines is called line voltage. The voltage measured between any line and neutral is called phase voltage. For example, for a 208/120 volt service, the line voltage is 208 Volts, and the phase voltage is 120 Volts.

Is 240V line to line or line to neutral?

The voltage between the two legs (called phase to phase or line to line) is 240V and the phase to neutral voltage is 120V. The 120/240 notation identifies the phase to neutral voltage followed by the phase to phase voltage.

How far can power be transmitted?

A typical maximum transmission distance is about 300 miles (483 km). High-voltage transmission lines are quite obvious when you see them. They are normally made of huge steel towers like this: All power towers like this have three wires for the three phases.

What does line mean in an AC power supply?

Or in more correct terms connected or disconnected. Line refers to one of the conductors of an alternating supply. There may be more than one line – there will be 3 in a 3 phase supply, called L1, L2 and L3. This alternating supply need not be mains power it may be the audio feed to the speakers in a public address (PA) system.

What does live and Neutral Mean in AC power supply?

Live (line) carries the AC 120 volts relative to the ground. Neutral (N) Mean Earth, or Nothing Line and Line (L) it Carry current. it is also called hot line. Thanks for replies!

What are the phases of an AC power supply?

There may be more than one line – there will be 3 in a 3 phase supply, called L1, L2 and L3. This alternating supply need not be mains power it may be the audio feed to the speakers in a public address (PA) system. Typically a 70 volt line or 100 volt line is used. The line may be live (connected) or dead (disconnected).

What are the different types of power line filters?

Power line filters offer multiple levels of protection to reduce the effects of electrical noise or power anomalies on electric/electronic equipment. Devices available include power line EMI/RF filters with surge protection, drive-rated power line EMI/RF filters, general-purpose power line EMI/RF filters, and power entry modules.
