In a 480 volt wye connection you obtain two voltages, 277/480 volts. Any leg to grounded wye point will give you 277 volts. Between any of the legs to each other you will receive 480 volts. Any two legs of a three phase system is classified as single phase supply. From a 480 volt central distribution panel install a two pole breaker sized to the amperage shown on the welding machine. Be sure to use the input current and not the output current to find the correct feeder for the unit.
Convert tons to watts, divide by volts. P = I x E. Current = power / volts. 1 ton cooling = 3516.852842067 watts 3517 / 480 = 7.33 amps
Yes, just use L1 and L2 ( just 2 of the 3 legs), or one of the legs to a neutral wire if equipped. Just make sure the voltage is the same as the 220 volts you wish to have with single phase service.
Any two legs of the 480V will give you 240 V Single phase. I apologize for the wrong information here. A friendly member reminded me of the correct answer. I stand corrected. Any two legs would be at 480 single phase. One leg to neutral will give you 277volts not 240 (408/1.73). You would need to install a step down transformer on the 277v line to achieve 240v.
You should have about 230 volts between any pair of 3-phase service legs: L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L1. If the voltage measured between any one pair results in low or no voltage, then you have a fuse or circuit problem.
Using a properly rated voltmeter and following all safety precautions, check from phase to phase on each phase on the secondary side. phase 1-2 then 2-3 then 1-3 and they should all be within a few volts of each other.
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.

Volts don't make power. Watts do. Watts = (volts) x (amps) 1 horsepower = 746 watts
That depends on circuit voltage. 1 watt is equal to 1 volt times 1 amp.
