Line to Ground Voltage Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the line to ground voltage.
V_{LG}= V_{L-L} / √3Variables:
- VL-G is the line to ground voltage
- VL-L is the line voltage (voltage between two phases)
To calculate the line to ground voltage, divide the line voltage by the square root of 3.

What is Line to Ground Voltage?
Line to ground voltage is the voltage measured between a single phase of an electrical system and the ground. In a three-phase power system, the line to ground voltage is less than the line voltage (voltage between two phases) by a factor of the square root of 3. This value is important for designing and troubleshooting electrical systems, ensuring compatibility with equipment, and maintaining safety standards.
