A phase - Brown
B phase - purple
C phase - Yellow
Neutral - Gray
Note: Phase B of high leg delta must be colored in orange or tagged. In utility meter the high leg shall terminated in Phase C. This apply only in utility meters.

Why does one line of 3 phase 480v show 0 volts and the other 2 have 480?
My first thought is this is probably a corner grounded delta system, but I'm confused by your voltages. If this was a 460v (L-L voltage) ungrounded or corner grounded system, the phase to ground voltage is meaningless, but the phase to phas voltage will be 460v all around the delta. If you have a 460v system and you're only seeing 230v, there's something wrong.
Can I run laundry equipment 440V 60hz 3 pH on a 480V 60Hz system?
This should not be a problem but check with the manufacturer of the laundry equipment to be certain.
How do you reduce the starting current reduce in star delta starter?
Y delta starters are antiques but so am I if its a single voltage motor 480 say it has six wires coming out one pair for each pole full voltage delta connection each pole sees the full 480V if you start with the Y connection each pole sees 277 V the big relays usually have both mechanical and electrical interlocks (obviously since there are direct shorts if both are on at the same time) there is a timing relay involved generally pneumatic so push the start button the Y relay comes in with the timer the timer gives all the moving parts sufficient time to get moving then the Y relay drops off and the delta comes in sealing the start button
What is the acceptable voltage higher than 480v for a 480v inverter?
The voltage range should be marked on the case but without that information a 5% increase can be assumed, so 504 v.
Can you back feed a three phase 480v transformer on the secondary side and get 480?
These transformers are usually reciprocal, and don't care which side you feed. Some caveats may apply if there are cooling fans, the other voltage is 100KV, this is connected as a wye to high-delta converter and so on.
Power a 415volt motor with 480volts?

What does 277 vac mean?
That's 277 volts of alternating current. This is typically one phase of a 480v 3 phase system. Don't worry that 3 x 277 adds up to more than 480v. A 277v line is typically one phase of a 480v 3 phase system.
What is full load current of 20 HP induction motor in delta?
480V about 20A 240V about 40A look at the nameplate duty cycle and efficiencies vary

What are advantages of three phase ac and a single phase ac?
In a typical 3 phase system you have multiple voltages and configurations that can be used in either single phase or 3 phase, depending on how the circuit is designed. A single phase system is just single phase. You can have multiple voltages but it is always single phase.For example, in a typical 277/480v 3 phase system you can power 277v single phase lighting or equipment, 480v single phase lighting or equipment (which uses 2 legs of the 3 phase system but operates like any other single phase circuit), or 480v 3 phase motors.When comparing motors, a 3 phase motor will be substantially smaller than a single phase motor of the same horsepower. You can also reverse a 3 phase motor by switching any 2 leads. A single phase AC motor runs in one direction regardless of how the leads are connected.AnswerFor a given load, a three-phase transmission system requires less volume of copper in terms of conductor size, compared to single phase, so it is more economical to use three-phase.

Can you feed a 208v 200amp panel from 480v 20amp circuit?
Not directly, you would need to transform 480v circuit to 120v with a transformer first.

How is line voltage computed in a wye three phase cofiguration?
Line voltage equals phase voltage multiplied by the square root of three. a.k.a. E l = E p X 1.73 In a 3 phase 480v system the phase voltage is 277v. Therefore E l = 277 X 1.73 = 480v
How do you convert 380v 3 phase to 220v 3 phase?
Mathematically, just divide 480 by the square root of three. Electrically, 480V refers to the line-to-line value of a three phase system. For example, measure the voltage across A-phase and B-phase and you'll get 480V. 277V is the line-to-neutral value. Measure the voltage across A-phase and the neutral conductor and you should get 277V.
