Do you need a step down transformer to run a 208 volt steam table on 240 volt feed?

Yes a transformer should be used. The steam table needs its correct voltage otherwise on 240 volts it will operate over its given specified nameplate wattage. A 208 volt heating element run off of 240 volt will have an output increase by 75 percent.

How many 240 volt 4.9 amp draw lights can be run on a 15 kva 2 phase transformer?
The lamp uses 240 x 4.9 VA, that is 1176 VA, so a 15 kVA transformer, which is 15,000 VA, could feed 12 lamps.

Can i get 9V to 110V transformer in the market?
Sure. You can go a couple of ways. You can look for a 110v to 9v transformer, if you can find one, or you can get a 110v to 18v center tapped transformer. If you get the second one, when you hook up the 9v side, you connect between one of the ends of the 18v coil and the center tap. Right now you're thinking, "I said a 9v to 110v transformer, not a 110v to 9v." That you did, but transformers don't care about that--they'll step voltage up as readily as they'll step it down. (Back when all we had was tubes to work with, transformers with a 6v winding and a high-voltage winding--300v, 400v, 2500v, whatever--were very common because tubes need a LOT of voltage to work.) There are two things you really should think about here if you're trying to take 9v to 110v. First, if your intention was to get line voltage out of a 9-volt battery, stop right here. Transformers only work with AC voltage, and a battery puts out DC. The other thing is, if you've got 9v AC and you feed it into a transformer that will give 1A at 9V, 0.08A at 110V will come out of the unit. Eight one-hundredths of an amp isn't really enough to do anything with. If you want to get 1A worth of 110v from 9v, you need to feed (assuming perfect efficiency in the transformer, which you will not get) 12.5A at 9v, or 25A at 9v if you have a transformer with a more likely 50 percent efficiency. It's possible to step 9v up to 110v, but it's probably not worth your time to do so.
How do you connect 480 vac three phase power to a 480 vac single phase transformer?
If the primary and the secondary windings of the three phase transformer are connected in delta, you cannot get a healthy neutral from it but why bother? You simply drive a rod into earth and use it as a neutral. Alternatively either the primary or the secondary windings must be connected as star and you use the common point as neutral.
Baby sparrow fell down from nest He can fly some What to feed it?
If he's learning to fly, his parents are around. Don't feed it, just leave it alone, keep your pets inside, and stay away from it. The parents will feed it while it gets stronger, then it will fly away.
What does the terminology - radial feed - mean in relationship to transformers?
This terminology usually refers to pad mounted transformers. A "radial feed " transformer is a transformer that has one bushing for the high voltage cable line. The high voltage cable terminates into the transformer through the transformer's bushing. There is no second bushing for the high voltage cable to continue further down the line. This type of transformer is usually on the end of a loop feed circuit. This is different from a "loop feed" transformer whose incoming cables are terminated at the primary bushings. On this type of transformer there is a second bushing which connects to the outgoing primary voltage cables that allows the primary to feed another transformer. Each pad mount transformer's secondary feed usually supplies enough power to connect up to four homes.
What is the difference between a set down and a set up transformer?
Set down transformer are also referred to step down transformers. They are used in regulating the electrical voltage before it can be used to feed a house. While step up transformer are mainly found in the generation stations to improve the voltage generated by the turbine. Thanks.
What not to feed a beagle?
table scrap.if you want it to be a hunting dog feed it dog food full of poroten if you feed it table scraps it will ruin the dog.

no you shouldn't feed any dog table scraps
What can a transformer not do?
Wash the car, feed the cat, turn lead in to gold... the list goes on and on.
How do close formula feeds differ from open formula feeds?
The feed system cycles between boiler and turbine and enables the steam to return to the boiler as feed water. A closed feed cycles a main propulsion steam run turbine through a high pressure water tube boiler. The condenser, set to a high vacuum, will receive the steam turbine exhaust.

How do you power generator to create electricity?
The nuclear reactor produces heat which is used to raise steam to feed a steam turbine/generator set
Why are step-down transformers used?
A step-down transformer is a reverse-wired step-up transformer. You can take a 110/220 transformer and feed 110 to step up to 220 or feed 220 to step down to 110. step down transformer is a device which reduces voltage .
Why you use boiler in oil refinery?
Use of water in a refinery is makeup for boiler feed. The chief uses of steam are for stripping, steam distillation, and vacuum distillation. The steam comes in contact with the products in these operations, and generally the steam condensate is so highly contaminated that it cannot be reused for boiler feed or for other purposes. Steam is also used for process heating, for pumping, and, in some refineries, for generating electric power
What is a signal pulse transformer?
usually a small transformer ferrite rather than iron core for short pulses it is more for isolation than anything else trigger for scr or triac the previous question for a power pulse transformer these are in cars ignition transformers the newer cars generally have one on each cylinder the computer may feed may feed a signal pulse through the small transformer to isolate the computer from the big one. to an scr to discharge a capacitor thru the ignition transformer (cars use the terms condenser and coil)
