First. You should not attempt this unless you are an electrician and KNOW what you are doing. Second: Ensure transformer is rated for 480 primary and 120/240 secondary. Third: See step One... But if you insist on doing it yourself, make sure your insurance is paid up.... On the Primary side of the transformer will be leads marked H1 H2 H3 etc. On the Secondary side the leads will be marked X1 X2 X3 etc. Look on the nameplate data on the transformer. It should tell you if it is rated for 480volts and should have a wiring diagram on it... If it does not, get one that does to ENSURE that you have the correct transformer.... I am an Electrician with BS in Engineering and 21 Years experience... If you seriously need help with this, email me sndemailhere@Yahoo.com

How do you convert 115 volt into 230 volt?
The only way to do that is with a transformer. They make inline transformers that convert 230 to 115 and they simply plug in inline.
How Convert 9 volt to 230 volt?
Converting 9 volts to 230 volts would require a pretty hardcore step up transformer (Expensive) and you probably wouldn't have enough current to sustain the load.See discussion page for more information.
Why 440 volts running capacitor if my ac is 230 volts?
The 440 volts listed on the cap is the maximum allowable voltage the capacitor can handle. You could actually use a 370 volt cap on 230 volts. ANSWER; 230 volts AC can it actually be 644 volts peak to peak . It is 44ov because it must be rectified and sees only 324 volt peak which is withing the 440 volt capacitor handling voltage
How do you connect a 115 v circuit when only a 230 v location is available?
Usually in a 230 volt situation, there are three wires. One wire is called neutral or ground. When you hook a motor or lamp between one wire and neutral, you get 115 volts. They are designated usually as L1, L2 and neutral. Things hooked between L1 and L2 are at 230 volts. Anything between L1 and neutral or L2 and neutral are at 120 volts.
How many amps on 25 kva transformer 1phase secondary 230 volts?
Take the KVA and divide it by the voltage. 25/.230 = 109 amps. The transformer can put out up to 50% more that its rated for short durations. So you could get around 150 amps out of a 25 Kva tranformer in a worst case situation.
How you get 5.6 volts 12 ma from 230 volts supply in current transfomer?
You would not connect a current transformer to a 230 v supply. To get 5.6 v 12 mA you could get a 230 to 6 volt transformer, then drop the supply from 6 to 5.6 using a 33-ohm resistor.
How do you convert 115 volt into 230 volt?
The only way to do that is with a transformer. They make inline transformers that convert 230 to 115 and they simply plug in inline.
How can I get 230 volt single pole wire from my house panel?
In North America you can not obtain 230 volts from just one single pole breaker. The distribution is like this, from a one pole breaker to neutral is 120 volts. From an adjacent breaker to neutral is 120 volts. From the adjacent breaker to adjacent breaker (breakers situated beside each other) the voltage will be 230 volts.If you want to incorporate a 120 to 230 volt transformer into the circuit you can obtain 230 volts. The primary side of the transformer will be connected to the 120 volt circuit and the secondary side of the transformer will output 230 volts. The transformer must be sized to the load amperage or the load wattage of the connected 230 volt load.
Would 230 volt item applicance work on 220 volt in south Africa?
A step-up transformer would be required to supply 230 volts from a 220 volts source from South Africa.
How Convert 9 volt to 230 volt?
Converting 9 volts to 230 volts would require a pretty hardcore step up transformer (Expensive) and you probably wouldn't have enough current to sustain the load.See discussion page for more information.
How do you convert 480v to 120v?
to derive 120 volts from 480 volts you have to use a transformer, based on your needs. If you needed 100 amps at 120 volt single phase you would need a 12kva transformer. This is just an example.
Will a 220 volt ballast operate from a 230 volt source?
Yes, 220 volts is in the same voltage classification as 230 volts.
How do you convert 230 volts to 12 volt system?
With a Step Down transformer. But you will probably have a hard time finding a 240 volt unit. 120 volts units are readily available. <<>> It depends on how big of a transformer that you are looking for. There are many control transformers in the 50 to 500 VA range that have dual primary and dual secondary. The primary side can be connected to 240 volt or 120 volt and the secondary can be connected for either 12 or 24 volts.
Can you convert a 277 volt ac unit to 230 volt?
There in no quick and inexpensive way of doing this conversion. A transformer would have to be used and this type of winding is not common. 277 volts is the wye voltage of a three phase 480 volt system.
Which type of voltage is 230 volt?
The classification of 230 volts is in the low voltage range.
Can I connect a Dutch ceiling light to my UK electrics?
The Netherlands uses 220 volts at 50hz and the UK uses 230 volts at 50 hz. So as long as you use a 230 volt light bulb in your UK home the fixture will work perfectly. It can handle the extra 10 volts.
Why 440 volts running capacitor if my ac is 230 volts?
The 440 volts listed on the cap is the maximum allowable voltage the capacitor can handle. You could actually use a 370 volt cap on 230 volts. ANSWER; 230 volts AC can it actually be 644 volts peak to peak . It is 44ov because it must be rectified and sees only 324 volt peak which is withing the 440 volt capacitor handling voltage
