Answer for UK and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.

The voltage potential of 380 volts is not common to North America.

It will probably be difficult to tap into the plug to get the voltage.

If you have a three phase 380 volt supply from a source then you can obtain a single phase voltage of 220 volts from it. 220/380 is a wye voltage connection. 380 divided by 1.73 will give you 220 volts. L1 - N = 220V, L2 - N =220V, L3 - N = 220V. L1 - L2 = 380, L2 - L3=380, L3 - L1 = 380.

How can you get a 240V single-phase power from a 120V 3-phase service?

First of all there is no common three phase 120 volt service. There is in North America a three wire 120/240 volt single phase service. That being said, if you want to change a 120 volt source to 240 volts it must be done with a transformer. Its classification is a step up transformer. The primary side of the transformer H1 - H2 will be connected to the 120 volts. The secondary side of the transformer X1 - X2 will be connected to the 240 volt load. The transformer is sized by the current required by the 240 volt load.


Can you replace 240 volt service with 480 volt service?

240 volt service is residential, split single phase. 480 volt service is commercial/industrial, three phase. In theory, with the approval of your municipality and electric utility, you could replace split single phase with commercial three phase service. However, the equipment for the replacement (transformers, feeder wire) would likely not be provided by the electric utility and would have to be bought by you. This equipment cost usually makes any benefit of such equipment not cost effective. Not to mention the cost doesn't end there. Your building electrical system would have to be rebuilt as a three phase system. That is like apples and oranges. You wouldn't even be able to plug in a typical 120v load without connecting transformers to step down the voltage.

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.

Does a 2 horsepower rotary converter plug into 120 single phase and convert it to plug in a 3 phase outlet?

All my experience with rotary phase converters have been in converting 240 volt single phase into 240 volt three phase. They all were hard wired into their respective systems, so my answer is no.


Can you run a 570 volt motor on 480 volt three phase power supply?

No, the voltage difference is too much. A 570 volt motor falls in the 600 volt range which is separate from the 480 volt range of three phase systems.

How do you obtain a 230 volts single phase supply from a 400 volts three phase four wire supply?

400 volt three phase on a grounded system is 230 volt single phase, with each phase 120 degrees apart. So, if you have a 400 volt, three phase four wire service (grounded service), you can pull one phase off and reference to the neutral for 230 volt service. Note this may not allow 115 volt service, unless there is also a center tap for each phase.

How do you get a 220 volt single phase from 380 volt 3phase synchrounos generator?

220 volt single phase from 480 volt 3 phase that one wire taken one phase and second wire connected in earth point. we get 220 v The above answer is incorrect, one phase from a three phase 480 volt system will give you 277 volts to ground. You must use a transformer to get the voltage you need.


How do you get single phase 440 from three phase 440?

You Don't. 440volt 3-phase is actually 480 volts, taking a single phase gives 277Volts single phase. To get single phase 440 you would use one leg of three phase 440/760 three phase power.
