What is the line voltage when a 120/240-volt, 3Ø, 4-W open-delta bank of transformers delivers power to a load?

In a 120/240-volt, three-phase, four-wire (3Ø, 4-W) open-delta system, understanding the configuration and the voltages involved is crucial. The term "open-delta" refers to a connection where only two of the three transformers are used, typically used in scenarios where a full delta arrangement is not feasible or economical.

In such a system, the line voltage refers to the voltage measured across any two phases. While the individual phases may provide a voltage of 120 volts when measured to the neutral, the line-to-line voltage, which is the critical measure in a three-phase system for many applications, is generally 240 volts when using the two transformers in an open-delta configuration.

The confusion may arise because of the 208 volts often referenced in three-phase systems; however, this typically pertains to the line voltage in a 120/208-volt system that uses a wye connection rather than an open-delta. Therefore, in this case, the line voltage delivered to the load is 240 volts. This value reflects the direct consequence of the transformer configuration, hence making it the correct answer.
