What ways are there to convert 480 3 Phase to 208 3 phase?

It depends on your definition of efficiency. 480 can certainly push more power than 208 through the same size conductors, but it would not be efficient to wire a motor for 480 when 208 was all that was needed.


When the label says requires 208-240V 20amps 60HZ how do you know if it is single or three phase?

Please be more specific is this a transformer or motor or something else? Did you check the spec sheet? Did you look for any markings on the package?


What is 208 - 230 volt three phase?

In the United States, 208v can be either. It is generally the voltage supplied by a 120/208v 3 phase system. However, using 2 legs of this 3 phase system is called single phase. I won't go into the reasons for that but just understand that 208v can be either single phase or 3 phase.


How does 120Volts single phase convert to 220Volts 3 phase when the 3 phase voltage should be 208Volts ie 120V x sq route of 3 equals 208V?

If you get 220 volts instead of 208 volts it means that the transformer supplying the circuit is wired in Delta with one of the legs center-tapped to ground.


What is a 208 circuit?

The 208 volt configuration is one phase of a three phase source at 240 volts, where the 208 volt circuit is connected between the center tap of one 240 volt phase (usually a grounded neutral, in the style of a standard 120/240 split phase system) and the high delta connection on either of the other two phases. 208 circuit would consist of two phases of a 208 volt wye system or could be all three phases. The voltage between conductors would be 208 volts. The voltage to ground from any phase would be 120 volts. A 240 volt delta system would give you a high leg to ground, somewhere around 190 volts and the other two would be 120 volts to ground.

What is the 60 Hz on a welder with the listed input as 208 230 volt single phase 60Hz?

60 Hertz is the frequency that the welder should be connected to, to work as it is designed to.

How do you convert 230v to 208 volts single phase?

A source of 208 volts can be obtained from any two legs of a three phase four wire 208 volt system. The two legs are classed as single phase 208 volts. The lead tags can be L1-L2, L2-L3, or L3-L1 all of which will give you 208 volts. Any of these lead tags to the grounded star point (wye) will give you 120 volts.


How do you convert 208 v 2160 Amperes to KVA?

To convert amps to kVA, you use the following formula: Amps = (kVA x 1000 / voltage) / 1.73

What is a 100 amp 208 single phase?

That is 20.8 kVa but a 208 v single phase supply is very rare. 208 v is usually three-phase, with 120v between neutral and the live wires.


How do you covert 120 volts to 208 volts?

Single phase or three phase? 120/208 would be measured hot to ground for 120 and hot to hot (phase to phase) for the 208 reading. Any hot to ground will read 120 and any two phases together will read 208.

How does 120 volts come from 208 volts?

208 is a three phase wye connection voltage. To obtain the each individual coil voltage the 208 is divided by 1.73 which equals to 120 volts. Hence you have 3 phase 208 voltage on the phase legs and 120 volts to the wye point which is grounded. This same formula is used on any 3 phase system. 600/347, 480/277, 208/120.
