Can you use 240 volt 3 phase to run a machine that is 240 volt single phase?
Yes, if the motor is rated 240 volts 3 phase.There is such a thing as 240 volt 3 phase power.However if you are asking if you can use 240 volts single phase on a three phase motor, then the answer is no.
How do you convert kva to amps three phase system when you have 220-240 volts?
Amperes when kva is shown. The formula is, Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x volts.
Can you power a 3 phase 240 volts 20 ton air condition unit using the voltage settings 1 phase 127 volts 2 phase 127 volts and 3 phase 127 volts where between any two phases the voltage is 240 v?
If you have a voltage of 127 volts to neutral (ground) then your wye connected three phase leg voltages will have to be 127 x 1.73 = 220 volts. This voltage is within the 10% allowance for voltages as should operate the compressor. As the voltage is lower that specified, the amperage rating when a reading is taken will be higher than that of the equipments nameplate.
How do you convert 7620 volts to 240 volts?
By using a step down transformer.
How many amps will a 500kw using 240 volts produce?
500,000 watts/240 volts = 2,083.34 Amps (single phase)
Can you buy a converter to connect to 240 single phase and convert it to 208 3 phase for electric grill?
If you mean by a converter, a transformer, to change the voltages then yes 240 volts can be transformed with a step down transformer from 240 volts to 208 volts in a single phase system. To answer the question single phase can not be converted to three phase without additional expensive equipment. One piece of equipment that will do it is a variable frequency drive. Another piece of equipment is a roto-phase. Either of these pieces of equipment would probably cost more than the grill you are trying to supply a voltage to.
You have 240volts and a load of 50 amps what is the kva?
A voltage of 240 volts is not a common three phase voltage. Single phase kva of 240 voltas and 50 amps is I x E/1000 = 240 x 50 = 12000/1000 = 12 kVa -- Assuming the 240 volts is phase to phase voltage, and this is a three phase application: KVA = V*I*sqrt (3) = 20.78KVA
How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts on each line?
For a single phase circuit, the equation you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
What is the difference between 277 volts and 240 volts?
These voltages are both wye connection three phase voltages. The voltage difference comes from the primary three phase voltage supplies. 277 volts is obtained from 277 x 1.73 = 480 and 240 volts is obtained from 240 x 1.73 = 415. 480/277 volts is a common three phase American voltage. 415/240 volts is a European voltage. In Canada a common three phase voltage is 347/600. The 240 volts could also be a single phase voltage in North America derived from a split phase secondary on a distribution transformer that supplies 120/240 volts to homes.
How do you convert 415 volts to 240 volt?
415 V is the 'line voltage', and 240 V is the 'phase voltage' of a 415/240-V three-phase, four-wire, system. These were the standard nominal voltages used in the UK before EU 'harmonisation' forced them to be 'renamed' (but not actually changed) to '400/230 V'!! So there really isn't such a thing as separate '415-V' and '240-V' three-phase systems. And there is no economic way of changing the supply frequency to a different frequency. Incidentally, the symbol for 'hertz' is 'Hz', not 'htz'.
How can I wire a 240 V single-phase outlet from a commercal building with 3-phase service 4- wire?
A three phase four wire commercial distribution service will not give you 240 volts. The nearest voltage you can get is 208 volts. It is a wye connection which gives you 208 volts between the three legs and 120 volt between any of the three legs and ground. This ground point is the systems neutral point.
What is the mains voltage in your home?
Depends on where you live in the world. North America it is 120/240 volts. In new installations these days a 200 amp capacity panel is quite common.
