On a circuit board the prefix 'L' marked by a component, represents and inductor. This is usually some kind of coil, providing inductance.

On large electrical installations, tags marked L1, L2 and L3, would generally indicate the three phases of a three phase electrical supply.

Answer

The letters, as shown, normally indicate terminals to which three-phase line conductors are connected.

What voltage would be measured from any phase to ground on a 480 volt 3 phase wye system?

A voltage of 277 is the line to neutral (ground) voltage of a 480 volt wye three phase system. L1- N, L2 - N and L3 - N will give you 277 volts. L1 to L2. L2 to L3 and L3 to L1 will give you 480 volts.


How do you know which leads are L1 L2 L3 on a 3 phase 2 speed motor?

You can identify the leads by using a multimeter to measure the resistance between each lead. The resistance between L1 and L2 should be higher than between L1 and L3 and L2 and L3. You can also consult the motor's wiring diagram for guidance.


Can you convert transformed 3 phase 200 volt to single phase 200 volt?

In a three phase that means there are three lines live. Lets name the first line L1, second one L2 and the last L3. If you would connet it to a three phase motor then you require L1, L2 and L3 to be connected either in star or delta connection. Rating of your motor should be 200V, 3 phase , x HP ( star or delta connected). If you have a single motor of 200V then you only need to connect two lines of the three., namely either L1 to L2 , L1 to L3 or L2 to L3.


Can a single phase supply be used in a three phase supply?

No, a single-phase supply cannot be directly used in a three-phase system. The voltages and phases are different, so additional equipment such as a phase converter or transformer would be needed to convert the single-phase supply to match the requirements of the three-phase system.


Is 277 volt one hot wire?

No, 277 volts is the line to neutral of a 480 volt wye three phase system. L1- N, L2 - N and L3 - N will give you 277 volts. L1 to L2. L2 to L3 and L3 to L1 will give you 480 volts.

How do you identify L1 from L2 in single phase?

L1 and L2 should have different colour insulation. The colours are different in different countries.


Should 2 legs of 480 volt 3 phase each have 480 volts?

Across a 480 volt three phase system, 480 volts should appear across L1 and L2, L2 and L3 and L3 and L1.


How do you convert a three phase power supply into single phase power supply?

You can take three separate single-phase circuits from a 3-ph generator. Just use one of the live wires plus the neutral to make a single-phase supply. <<>> A three phase generator does not have to be converted to single phase. In electrical terminology any two legs from a three phase system are classed as single phase. No matter what voltage the generator is producing, L1 - L2, L2 - L3, L3 - L1 are classed as single phase legs along with L1 - N, L2 - N, L3 - N. If the generator output voltage is not the voltage that you are looking for use any two legs of the generators output voltage and use a transformer to obtain the voltage that you need.


On a 220 volt electric motor which is the neutral wire L1 L2 or L3?

If the motor wire numbers are L1, L2 and L3, it is not a single phase motor. It is a three phase motor. Also for future reference, a 220 volt single phase motor does not use a neutral.

When 3 phase step down transformer primary side 2 phase came?

You cannot obtain a two-phase supply from a three-phase system. What you are referring to is a 'split-phase' single-phase system, in which one phase of the transformer's delta secondary is centre tapped, with that tap then being grounded and providing the neutral connection; the outer ends of the same winding provide two line ('hot') connections, L1 and L2. The potential difference between L1 and L2 is then 240 V, whereas the potential difference between either L1 or L2 and the neutral is 120 V.

How do you reverse a three phase air conditioning unit?

Any three phase motor can be reversed in rotation by inter changing any two of the motor's incoming feed conductors. For example connect the motor winding wires to L1, L2, L3 and the rotor turns clockwise in rotation. Connect the same motor to L3, L2, L1 or L2, L1, L3 or L1, L3, L2 and the rotor turns counter clockwise. As you can see any combination of the two wires will reverse the rotors rotation.


How to wire 277 volt lighting?

A voltage of 277 is the line to neutral voltage of a 480 volt wye three phase system. L1- N, L2 - N and L3 - N will give you 277 volts. L1 to L2. L2 to L3 and L3 to L1 will give you 480 volts. Wiring of three phase equipment should be in the domain of qualified journeyman electrician or apprentices under the supervision of a qualified journeyman electrician.
