Depends on the motor. If it is a synchronous motor it will run too fast.

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.


What is the minimum acceptable reading for magger test for 480v motor?

if check voltage is 2000v then acceptable range is 400


Is there any advantage of 208V vs 480V three phase?

208 v. equipment is a little smaller and cheaper, and 208v. is slightly safer to use. However, 480v. runs on half the amperage 208v. equipment does, which means equipment or devices cost almost 50% less to operate. With respect to energy consumption, the answer above is incorrect. It is true that equipment that operates at 480v does operate at roughly half the amperage vs. 208v, however, it operates at over twice the voltage. Your local power company charges you per kilowatt hour (voltage x amperage), not on amperage alone. Example, a 208v motor that draws 10 amps would consume (208v x 10a) 2.080 kilowatts per hour. The same motor on 480v would draw roughly half, 4.3 amps (480v x 4.3a) and would also consume 2.080 kilowatts per hour. So in terms of power consumption, they are virtually the same. The main reasons one would opt for higher is the fact that you can install smaller wire and you can run longer distances. It's a ratio that is directly proportional (at least with electric motors/inductive loads). If you were comparing a 240v motor to a 480v motor the ratio would be exact, if a 480v motor draws 5 amps, the same motor on 240v would draw 10 amps.


Can a 440 - 480V 60Hz motor run in a site with 380V 60Hz supply If No how can it work?

The motor will run, probably at nearly the same speed, but it cannot supply the same mechanical load. If it can be run on a lighter load, proportional to the voltage, it should be OK.

What happen to the 480v rated motoe when connected to 440v power?

Depending on the design of the motor, it may just run with less torque/hp. It might run slightly hotter as well, depending on the load.
