Nominal supply values for Australian calculations

Show the Australian voltage basis used by calculator records without turning it into a voltage tolerance decision.

Supply voltage
ContextValueUseBoundary
Single-phase voltage230 V a.c. phase-to-neutralDefault calculator context when the project does not state another value.Use project or measured voltage where known.
Three-phase voltage400 V a.c. line-to-lineBalanced three-phase load, cable and power calculations.Confirm whether the calculator expects line-to-line or phase-to-neutral voltage.
Supply frequency50 HzAustralian low-voltage a.c. frequency context.Equipment and inverter checks still need product data.
Legacy site context240/415 V may appear in older recordsHelps reviewers understand inherited drawings or nameplates.Calculator defaults remain 230/400 V unless the project states otherwise.
Measured-voltage recordInstrument readingSite measurement and power-quality records.Record time, point, loading and instrument context.
  • This table gives calculator context, not a voltage tolerance ruling.
  • A project-specific or measured value is stronger than a general nominal value.

Where supply voltage affects the result

Use these nominal values to set the calculator context before confirming the actual supply arrangement for the site or network connection.

How to use the supply voltage reference
ItemValue
PurposeShow the Australian voltage basis used by calculator records without turning it into a voltage tolerance decision.
How to use the sourceNot formula-backed; this is a voltage-context table for user-entered calculator fields.
Standards and project contextAS IEC 60038 and AS/NZS 3000 context noted only for project review.
Where judgement is still neededUse this table for lookup, labelling or worksheet context; do not treat it as a project-specific calculation result.
Before relying on itConfirm current standards, local authority requirements, DNSP conditions, project documents and manufacturer data before relying on a decision.

Authority basis for supply voltage

Review the network source, checked date and Australian supply context before relying on these nominal values.
