Will a 370 VAC motor run using a 440 VAC capacitor?

If the motor is rated at 370 v and the supply is 370 v, the capacitor needs to be rated at 370 or more volts, so a 440 v capacitor will be OK.


What is the difference between 370 vac and 440 vac capacitors?

The difference is that the 440 vac capacitor has a 70 volt-amp-current higher output than the 370. Capacitors must always be replaced with the same size micro-farads or you'll damage the device, such as a motor. The vac rating can be changed with a capacitor with a higher rating but not lower. Example: 15mfd at 370vac can be replaced by a 15mfd at 440vac, but not the opposite.


What colour is the solid copper?

bare copper wire is copper orange color.tinned copper wire is silvery color.enamel coated copper magnet wire can come in any color, depending on enamel.plastic coated copper hookup wire can come in any color, depending on plastic.copper wire for household wiring is color coded using plastic coating:black - hot 120 VACwhite - neutral 0 V current returngreen - ground 0 V safety return (no current normally)red - hot 120 VAC, opposite phase from black for use in 240 VAC hookupsetc.copper wiring for industrial 3-phase power has additional colors, which I won't visit here.copper wire for electronic use follows an entirely different color code:red - positive DC powerblack - DC returngreen - negative DC power, or signal if no negative powerother colors - signalsdon't confuse color codes!


What happens to a motor that runs on 230 VAC is accidentally connected to a 440 VAC supply?

It will overheat, probably even on no-load. It might blow the circuit breaker or start producing smoke.


What wire do I connect the 277 VAC wire to?

It depends on what 277 volt device you are trying to connect.

Why is it stated - 3 phase 440 VAC when one phase voltage is 220 VAC?

In three-phase there are three live wires and a neutral. The voltage of a three-phase system is always quoted as the live-to-live voltage, and the voltage from one live wire to neutral is 57.7% of that. A 440 v 3-ph system has 254 volts between live and neutral. <<>> The question statement is not correct. Two legs from a three phase three wire 440 volt system will still be 440 but classed a single phase. On a three phase four wire system supply, the voltages will be determined by the following equation. 440/(square root of 3) 1.73 = 254 volts. The second single phase voltage attainable from this source connection is any one of the three phase legs to grounded neutral center point. This is known as a wye or star point connected voltage supply. To obtain a 220 volt single phase voltage, the three phase system would have to have a voltage of 220 x 1.73 = 380 volts.


What is 3 phase voltage in turkey?

The 3 phase power in turkey is either 380 VAC or 400 VAC.


How do you wire a 3 wire exhaust fan to a 4 wire outlet?

The fan is probably a 115 VAC single phase fan and the outlet is probably a 230 VAC "two phase" outlet. The fan would then have the following wires: hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (green). The outlet would then have the following wires: hot #1 (black), hot #2 (red), neutral (white), and ground (green). Pick either of the two hot wires on the outlet and connect the hot wire of the fan to that (ignore the other hot wire on the outlet) and connect the neutral to neutral and ground to ground. If the wire colors are not as I described above you may have something else (e.g. 3-phase) and that would be wired differently, but those systems are usually used only in industrial settings not the home.


What is the ratio of a 480vac single phase and a 120 vac secondary voltage?

The ratio for a 480 VAC to 120 VAC is 4 to 1.

What is the voltage of line voltage?

It varies from country to country. In the USA it is 110 volts, in the UK it 230 volts +/- 10%/6%. In practise in the UK it is 240s volt +/- 6%, the slightly odd looking specification allows harmonisation with rest of Europe. In all these cases, the mains voltage is supplied AC (alternating current) and the voltage is given as root mean square (RMS). The peak voltage in the UK is 384 volts.


What is the ac voltage reading between the bare copper wire and the hot black wire 120 vac or zero volt?

Should be about 120 VAC.

What can happen if you use a 440 vac capacitor instead of a 370 vac?

You can always use a higher voltage rated capacitor, it will probably just last a little longer.
