What size breaker for a 208 volt single phase motor that pulls 1.4 amps?
208 volts is not a common single phase voltage but you could just size your breaker to the capabilities of the conductor. 208 is normally a phase to phase voltage <<>> Many 230 volt motors can be connected to lower voltage supplies. These motors can be connected to supplies of 208 and 200 volts. The code requirement is that the 230 volt full load amperage of the motor be increased by 10% and 15% respectively for wire sizing and breaker selection. To answer the question you will need a two pole 15 amp breaker.
How many wires do you need for a 208 v circuit?
208 v is a three-phase supply voltage used in North America, carried on a 4-wire system. The voltage between one of the three live wires and the neutral wire is 120 v and a single-phase supply can be taken by using one live and the neutral. If in doubt about the connection consult an electrician.
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 many watts can be put on a 20 amp 208 volt circuit breaker?
20-amp breakers can be found for many different voltage levels. The higher-voltage ones tend to be more expensive. A breaker can be used in a circuit of equal or lower voltage than the rated voltage of the breaker.
How do you convert 277v to 120v for an outlet?
i think you just have to change the breaker from a 277 to a 120. 277 breakers are usually a 2 pole breaker and 120 is a single pole breaker. NO. 277v is not two poles, it is one pole, one single pole breaker in a 480 volt 3 phase system (typically). If you want 120 volts from a 277 volt source you need a step down transformer 277 volt to 120 volt , or 480/277 to 120/208 .

How do you convert 208 volt amps to 480 volt amps?
Add another leg of 120 to a three pole breaker.
How many wires do you need for a 208 v circuit?
208 v is a three-phase supply voltage used in North America, carried on a 4-wire system. The voltage between one of the three live wires and the neutral wire is 120 v and a single-phase supply can be taken by using one live and the neutral. If in doubt about the connection consult an electrician.
What size breaker is needed for 208 volts 6 amps using Ohm's law?
20 amp In North America code states a two pole 15 amp breaker will do the job.
Is there a difference between 480volt 30 amp breaker and 208volt 30 amp breaker?
Yes, all breakers have an insulation factor as to the maximum amount of voltage the device can be subjected to. A 208 volt breaker has a maximum up to and including 240 volts. A 480 volt breaker has a maximum up to and including 600 volts. A higher voltage rating breaker can be used on lower voltages but not the other way around.
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.
What size breaker is used for a 3 horse power motor with 3 phase 208 volts?
I would go with 20 amp 3 pole 15 amp will also do

What is 122 08 voltage?
122/208
How do you meter a 208v load meter only 1 phase add the two?
The voltage 208 is a three phase voltage. Single phase is classed as the voltage obtained from any two legs of the three phase voltage system. The voltage between L1 to L2 = 208. L2 to L3 = 208 volts and L3 to L1 = 208 volts. To measure the load of the 208 volt device just clamp an amp meter around one of the legs coming from the load. This will give you the amperage that the load draws.
What voltage should 208 3 phase leads read?
From line-to-line (any two of the three leads) voltage or 'line voltage', the voltage is 208 V. The line-to-neutral (one of the three leads and the neutral conductor), or 'phase voltage', is 120 V.
