Yes, but the 600 volts would have to be transformed down to 480 volts. Direct connection to the motor with 600 volts would overheat the motor to destruction.

In a three phase four wire wye system having 277V for lighting the three phase motors operate on what voltage?
480 Volt
How do you wire a 277 to 120 volt transformer?
The voltage 277 volts is a three phase line to neutral voltage of a 480 volt system. What is needed for the protection of the transformer is a two pole breaker from the 480 volt CDP (Central Distribution Panel). The breaker will be sized to the KVA of the transformer. The wire will be sized to the breaker plus 25%. The electrical code requires that on motor and transformer feeders, they be sized to 125% of the total current capacity of the equipment.
A 480-volt circuit has an impedace of 60 ohms what is the current?
480 volts and 60ohm impedence current = volt/impedence current=480/60 current=8ampeares
208 volt 12 amps versus 277 volt 6 amps?
It is hard to see a question here. Both of these voltages are currently use in electrical systems today. Both voltages are related to three phase systems. A voltage of 208 volts is a three phase wye system that has a voltage of 208 between lines L1, L2 and L3 and 120 volts between any of the lines and neutral. A voltage of 277 is the line to neutral voltage of a 480 volt three phase wye system. There is a voltage of 480 between L1, L2 and L3 and 277 volts between any of the lines and neutral.
How do you check 480 volts line coming from comed?
This high a voltage is an industrial voltage. If you are concerned about variations in the voltage call your utility supplier to get them to check it for you. They can connect a recording volt meter to the line an it gives a print out over a 24 hour period. If that is not an option call a qualified electrical contractor and ask him to take a reading for you. A voltage of 480 volts is not a voltage that the ordinary layman should be opening panels and getting into.
Is sj cord rated for 300 volts to be used for 480 volt?
No. The voltage rating needs to be 600 volts for 480 volt power.
Wiring diagram to convert a 3 phase 480 volt generator to 277 volt?
You should not need a wiring diagram. If the generator has a star point (wye) connection then the phase voltage to ground (star point) is 277 volts. 480/1.73 = 277.
What is the benefits of using 277 volt electrical equipment?
with 3 phase lighting you do not have to use as large of wire and can use one neutral for every 3 current carrying conductors so it cut down on material costs ( as voltage increases current decreases) <<>> The voltage 277 is the star-point voltage of a 480 volt three phase system. By using a 480 volt wye system you have the dual ability of running 480 volt three phase equipment along with 277 volt lighting. The side advantage is the ability of using the phase voltage to ground (neutral) 480 / 1.73 = 277 volts for general lighting of the building the 480 volt equipment is located in.
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.
What voltages do industrial electricians work with?
480 volt amperage and up to higher voltage
Can you connect a 277V ballast to 208V line service?
No. A 277 volt ballast needs the correct voltage to operate. The 277 voltage is derived from the star point voltage of a 480 volt three phase system (277/480). The 208 voltage is a three phase line voltage whose star-point voltage is 120 volts (120/208).
Can you use 480v breaker with 208v?
Yes the voltage rating of devices is the maximum amount of voltage that it can handle. You could not use a 480 volt breaker on a 600 volt service and like wise you could not use a 208 volt rated breaker on a 480 volt service.
How can you hook a 230v 3 phase lathe to 480v 3 phase incoming power?
Inspect all motor labels and see if they are dual voltage motors. If they are, they should have a label on them telling you how to convert the motors for 480 volt. This is a relative simple task. Converting to 480 volts will lower the motor current to half of the 230 volt rating, so you will have to change the overload heaters in the individual motor starters. You need to do this to protect the motors in case of overloading. Last the control transformer will need to be reconnected for 480 volt.
How do 480 volt control circuits work?
Some control circuits remain at line voltage but most use a reduced voltage of 120 volts. This is acquired by the use of a control transformer 480 primary to 120 volts secondary.
What is a 277 volt fluorescent fixture?
A 277 volt lighting fixture is one that is usually used in an industrial application. The reason for this is the voltage rating. A voltage potential of 277 volts is the voltage to neutral (ground) of a three phase four wire 480 volt distribution system. 480 volts / 1.73 = 277 volts. Rather than having to add a transformer to the system to provide 120 volts for lighting, manufactures produced a ballast for fluorescent fixtures that operates on the 227 volt potential.
Can you run 480 volt motors in a 380 volt system?
Can I run 480 volt , 60 HZ motor at a 380 volt , 60 Hz system?
Do you need a transformer to run a 575 volt machine on 480 volts?
Yes, a three phase step up transformer with a primary of 480 volts and a secondary of 600 volts would be neededThis is quite common in North America where the US industrial / commercial voltage is 480 volts and Canada is 600 volts. The sizing of the transformer would depend on the connected load of the machine.
