That worldstandards list is, in reality, inaccurate w.r.t. the 3-phase voltages in the UK, and in countries where UK design practice prevails, where the “real world” 3-phase (STAR/WYE config) was/is around 415V (even though the UK now “conforms” to the long-ago EU agreed level of 380V because 380V +10% is 418V - i.e. = 415V, or “near enough”). In reality that means the 1-phase voltage is around 240-245V (recently measured 243V upstairs in this house).
Thus one should take that list with the proverbial “pinch of salt” as the “real world” voltages in some countries may be a “bit different” to the nominal ones.

It doesn't cover the phase configurations directly but does have a column for number of wires. https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/three-phase-electric-power/ On Wed, Oct 28, 2020 at 1:48 PM Douglas Powell <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: All, In the distant past I struggled to learn what were the expected electrical voltage, frequency, and phase configurations (delta, wye, high-leg, etc) for commercial/industrial facilities in various countries. I know about IEC 60038 standard voltages, but standard voltages don't always represent real life in specific locales. What I wanted was a good country-by-country listing for three phase power. The source I most often used was "http://www.ita.doc.gov/media/Publications/pdf/current2002FINAL.pdf";. A 2002 reprint of the 1998 document, and now a broken link. After a generic search of www.ita.doc.gov <http://www.ita.doc.gov> , It seems it is no longer available. Yes, I realize the information was getting old but finding no up to date alternative, I searched elsewhere. And besides, It's not likely that such things like this change rapidly.

Does anyone know of a comprehensive resource for three-phase power in this world? No need to refer to orbital platforms, the moon, or other planets just yet. Thanks!
