Yes it can. Motors can usually tolerate a 10% fluctuation in supply, so an increase of 20 volts wont do any harm in this case - it's less than a 5% increase.
Yes, the 440 volt motor is withing the 10% voltage range of the 460 volt group. When the supply is said to be 480 volts, usually it is lower than what it is stated to be. Once the motor is connected check the current against the motor's nameplate amperage.
what is the full load amps for 2.4 hp motor at 460 volts ?
In the United States, 480 Volts (AC) is a nominal system voltage before it is distributed to the device being powered. Line losses (measured in volts) occur throughout the distribution system due to current passing through wires and devices which have a resistance. Manufacturers of end use devices, such as motors, take this into account and list their devices as 460 volt devices. So, what this means is that you will see transformers and circuit breakers with nameplates at 480 Volts (AC), and motor nameplates at 460 Volts (AC). Older 3-phase motors may actually have nameplates for 440 Volts, but all new motors in this voltage range would be listed as 460 Volt motors.
There was a 440 Volt Rating. Voltage ratings of the past gave way to higher levels to allow larger power dissipation from the same wire size. In home use 110 Volts gave way to 115 Volts and that gave way to the 120 Volts of current use. Higher voltages also increased in turn as 110V associated with 220 and 440 Volts, became 115V associated with 230 and 460 Volts, and today we have 120V associated with 240 and 480 Volts.
Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
The range of working voltages for a piece of equipment should be marked on the cover. If it says 400-460 v or a wider range, the answer is yes. Otherwise the answer is no.
There is no household current with which you can power a 460 volt motor.Normal US household power is 120/240VAC split phase. (Other countries have different configurations, but the answer remains the same.) Without a transformer, and a substantial power flow, you are not going to develop the voltage necessary to run a 460 volt motor. Even if you could generate that voltage, you still only have one phase available, and most 460 volt motors require three phase power.You could do this with an inverter, or a motor-generator set, but to be blunt, you are asking about a commercial application, not a household application.

Yes but they might run slower. A synchronous motor would definitely run at 5/6 of the speed. Also the motor might heat up because of increased power loss in the iron core due to hysteresis.
dear all, 460/600 = 2/3 =0.66... you mean operating the motor at 2/3rd the volts.... 1. you may run the motor in star connection, speed will be little less then the synchronous speed, but as long as starting torque & running torque matches the load requirements, you may operate the same on lesser volts. In fact, starting line currents will be less. 2. Use VFD drive - to keep v/f ratio same, then, you get the full load rated torque even at the 460 volts.
The electrical code states that a 7.5 HP 460 volt three phase motor draws 11 amps. For fuse sizes, non time delay - 30 amps, time delay type D - 20 amps and if using a breaker it will be 30 amps. Minimum wire size is #12 and the maximum setting of overload devices will be 13.75 amps
