Reference boundary

Nominal service-voltage reference only. The serving utility and equipment markings determine the actual project voltage.

Reference table

Reference common Canadian three-phase voltage labels and line-to-line or line-to-neutral relationships.

Reference basis uses nominal system labels and three-phase voltage relationships.
