What is the difference in 30 amp 250 volt and 30 amp 600 volt?
Devices are rated by voltage and amperage. If you have a source rated for 600 volts you can use a 250 volt device, but not vice versa.
Do you need a step down transformer to run a 208 volt steam table on 240 volt feed?
Yes a transformer should be used. The steam table needs its correct voltage otherwise on 240 volts it will operate over its given specified nameplate wattage. A 208 volt heating element run off of 240 volt will have an output increase by 75 percent.
What is the breaker size for a 10 KVA electric heater?
What size breakers are needed for a 30kva transformer 208 volt feed 600 volt out put
30 amps on a 250 volt outlet can handle how many watts?
A 30 amp circuit on a 250 volt service could handle up to 7500 watts. That's if it's actually 250 volts coming in. You should check that with your meter.
Can you run a 208 volt oven on 220?
Yes. This is the same standard. The terms 208 and 220 mean the same thing, much like household voltage is sometimes called 110 or 120.
Does a 208 volt outlet need a neutral?
No a 208 volt outlet does not need a neutral. 208 volts is the line voltage between any two legs of a three phase 208 volt system.
What AWG cable for 200' x 208 volt three phase 250 amp circuit?
A wire size of 250 MCM will limit the voltage drop to 3% over a distance of 200 feet.
Why won't a 230-460 volt motor work on a 120-208 volt circuit?
Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
What happens when 240 volt equipment is plugged into a 208 volt source?
It should be ok
Can you operate a 208 volt on 110 volt?
The United States is one of the only places in the world that uses 110 volts instead 220 volts. In order to operate 208 volts on a 110 volt electrical current, you will need a voltage converter.
Can you use 250 volt 1A for 230 volt 800mA?
no
Normal voltage house in the US?
The vast majority of homes are supplied with 120/240 volt or 110/208 volt.
How do you convert 208 volt amps to 480 volt amps?
Add another leg of 120 to a three pole breaker.
Can a 208 volt hot water heater be used with 110 volt with a 20 amp fuse?
Yes, but by using 120 volts on the 208 volt element you will only be able to obtain 1/4 of the rated wattage from the element not 1/2 like it seems you should.
Can you use 600 volt fuses in place of 250 volt fuses on a 208 Volt System?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.If they fit, which I doubt, yes, you can use 600 volt fuses in place of 250 volt fuses so long as the amp rating is correct.YOU CANNOT USE 250 VOLT FUSES IN PLACE OF 600 VOLT FUSES !!!You can use a fuse with a higher volt rating but not a smaller volt rating than the voltage applied to the circuit.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What is a 208 circuit?
The 208 volt configuration is one phase of a three phase source at 240 volts, where the 208 volt circuit is connected between the center tap of one 240 volt phase (usually a grounded neutral, in the style of a standard 120/240 split phase system) and the high delta connection on either of the other two phases. 208 circuit would consist of two phases of a 208 volt wye system or could be all three phases. The voltage between conductors would be 208 volts. The voltage to ground from any phase would be 120 volts. A 240 volt delta system would give you a high leg to ground, somewhere around 190 volts and the other two would be 120 volts to ground.
Can a 220 volt 3 phase motor be connected to a 208 3phase curcit?
Yes.
