No. The 1-phase 240 setting on your computer's power supply is for the 240V wall outlets in other countries. The 240 outlets in your home are 2-phase 240.

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.


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.


Can you use 220 Volt 3 Phase as 208 Volt 3 Phase?

Yes by using a 3-phase transformer. The size depends on how much power has to be converted.


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


What are the specific electrical requirements for a 208/230 volt single phase appliance?

A 208/230 volt single phase appliance requires a dedicated electrical circuit with a voltage of 208 to 230 volts and a single phase power supply. The appliance should be connected to a properly rated outlet or wiring to ensure safe and efficient operation.


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.


What is the difference between 208 volt and 220 volt power?

The main difference between the two voltages is that the 208 volts is a three phase voltage and 220 volts in North America is a single phase voltage. If you operate a 220 volt motor on 208 volts the current will be 5% higher that the motor's nameplate rating. If the load is resistive and you operate a 220 volt baseboard heater on 208 volts the true heater wattage will not be reached because of Ohm's law. Current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit. The following statement is not true as many motors will have the two voltages on the motor's nameplate. You can operate a 208 volt motor or appliance on 240 volt, but that will decrease life expectancy by 50%.


How do you convert 208 volt amps to 480 volt amps?

Add another leg of 120 to a three pole breaker.


Normal voltage house in the US?

The vast majority of homes are supplied with 120/240 volt or 110/208 volt.


Can you run a 240 volt single phase hot water tank on a three phase 208-120 system?

Yes if it is connected across the lines it will receive 208 volts, which is obviously less than 240 v and the power output would be only three quarters of the rated power.
