I was referring an industrial control panel guide for North American market for the network specifications. The specification mentioned a voltage rating 240Y/131V. I am curious, how would one get a phase voltage of 131V for 240V line to line, since for the star network the formuala is: Eline=√3×Ephase
and it should be √3×131=226V (which is far away from 240)
. Am I using the wrong concept ? However, for other Y networks shown, the Eline=√3×Ephase
formula works -
277×√3=479.778(480V approx.)
and √3×347=601.021(600V approx.)

It's likely a typo or a miscalculation. You just can't trust everything you read. It's not a million miles off so no big deal because most equipment designs should easily work without fault (or glitch) with a 5% or 10% variation. 230 x 1.05 = 241.5 volts hence, it really shouldn't be a problem.
In EE design engineering, it's always best to double check what you can (just as you have done in your question - good work).
