Why 440volts instead of 660volts in 3 phases of supply system?

Why 440volts instead of 660volts in 3 phases of supply system?


In single phase supply, 220V is voltage diff. between Line & neutral while, In 3 phase supply there are 3 supply lines phase shifted at 120deg from each other, so net voltage diff. (the phase resultant) between two phases in accordance with phase angle of 120deg is 440V.

However in 3 phase, 4 line systems having 1 neutral also, the voltage diff. between neutral and any of the phase is 220V..
