If you don't know you need an electrician, you can't hook things up with 480 v kicking around, you'll get a shock.

You will need a three phase step down transformer to change the voltage supply from 480 to 240.

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.
What does the phases on a nameplate of a motor mean?
On a three phase motor, the phases give you direction for how to hook the motor up to make it spin one direction vs. the other. If you hook up such a motor blindly with all three phases, it may spin in the opposite direction you want; to fix, you swap any two of the three phase connections.
How do you hook up a 3 phase water heater to a 3 wires 1 white 1 black 1 bare copper ground?
In order to answer your question, firstly, we have to accurately establish your supply.Is it 2 phase or 2 wire?2 phase is two active conductors, i.e. 2 live wires with reference to neutral or ground2 wire is single phase, an active and a neutral conductor.2 phase supply is uncommon.Single phase (2 wire) is the more common supply and for installations with large loads three phase, or, more appropriately 3 phase and neutral (4 wire) is used.Please confirm your supply so that a detailed answer can be provided.
How do you hook up 9 lead 3 phase motor?
Don't know of any three phase low voltage motors. Perhaps it's a "stepper motor". Stepper motors are typically computer controlled, with the computer pulsing different pairs of wire to cause the motor to "step".
Can you hook up only 2 of the 3 phase lines to a breaker switch to use as a on off switch for 3 phase paint booth motor?
In single phase applications, you have two wires. One of these is "hot", meaning it has an AC voltage applied to it. The other is not - it is directly tied to ground or the system neutral. In three phase power, all three wires are "hot", and use the other wires as the return path under balanced conditions. Because of this you cannot do what you are proposing and have a safe setup. Isolating only two of the three wires still leaves one "hot".

How do you hook 230v air compressor to house?
You would have to install a 230 volt outlet.
Can you hook up a stove to a normal three phase socket?
If this is in your residence it is extremely unlikely you have 3-phase power. You need an electrician to make sure you don't burn down your house.
How do you hook up 3 phase to a 10 hp compressor?
First you have to have three phase power coming in. 3 phase are three hot wires working together on a syne wave. If you have 3 phase coming in, hook the three hot wires into the compresser, if it runs backwards, trade places with two of the wire and let the third one alone and you should be running.

How do you hook up a three phase welder?
Easy as one,two and three. There are four primary wires coming from you service panel.(provided you have three phase service) you can check by looking at the weather head on the roof. if it has three wires you have single phase but if it has four then you have three phase. the hot wires will be black,red and brown. the neutral will be white or green. the welder should have a manual that will give you the lead phase wire(most likely black to black) the other two hot wires can hook to any other hot wire. The neutral goes to the white or green and posts to the panel. If the welder has a switching power supply then you must have a three phase converter.
Where can you get a free wiring diagram for a 480 volt reversible motor?
If the motor is 3-phase (it will say so on the nameplate), you don't need a diagram. just hook up all 3 wires in any order. If the motor runs the wrong direction, swap any two of the phases. This is true for all 3-phase motors. Its that simple! Warning: this obviously will only work if you have 480v, 3-phase power available. If you are trying to do this at home, it almost certainly won't work, because homes (in the US) typically have 240v 1-phase power. Trying to run a 3-phase motor directly on single phase power will destroy it. There are various ways to convert single phase power to three phase, but if you are having a hard time just hooking up the motor, they are beyond your ability at this time. Get a qualified electrician to help you! It could save your motor, and quite possibly your life!
If you take your PSP and hook it to a big lazer is it possible to use it to genetically alter the DNA of a living organism?
Absolutely. Though you would have to modify the phase variance.

Is there a neutral on a three phase transformer?
It depends on whether you are wye or delta connected. A transformer is a transformer, and a three phase transformer is simply three transformers. The key is in how you hook them up.AnswerIt depends on how the transformer is connected. If one set of windings is connected in star (or wye), then the star point is/canbe earthed and becomes the neutral for that particular connection; this is the standard connection for the secondary (low-voltage) of European distribution transformers. In North American three-phase distribution transformers, the secondary windings are connected in delta, and one phase is centre tapped, earthed, and that becomes the neutral point for a 240/120-V split-phase supply to a residence.This answer applies to both three-phase transformers, and to single-phase transformers which have been connected to form a three-phase transformer bank. (It is incorrect to say that a three-phase transformer is simply three single-phase transformers!)
What does P1 stand for in electrical wiring?
P1 is where you hook L1 on electric motors. Typically used on 220v motors in the wiring diagram. P1 (phase 1) gets connected to L1 (power leg)
