How Convert 230 volt to 460 volt?

Answer 1

To convert single phase 230 to 460 volt, you would need a transformer that is rated at 460v and 230v respectively. It can be a step down or step up transformer. For 3 phase, you would need a 3 phase transformer.

Answer 2

The difference between 460 volts and 480 volts is 20 volts. They are not the same but all voltages have a nominal and a tolerance on each side of it. For example US household is 115 (or 117 or 118) nominal, and it can be between 110 and 120, or sometimes between 105 and 125 volts.

Answer 3

It is the same

If you half the voltage you double the current needed to run the device. Wattage is voltage times current

The only difference is the wire size you need. This will vary with the current draw of the device you are powering.

On 460 volt you can use a smaller gauge wire, so you might save some cost there but the electrical costs are the same.

Answer 4

40 volts!That's just the nominal voltage. Things run fine anywhere in that range. The power company promises to deliver in that range. Like 110 volts A.C. or 120vac. Any lower and things are dim and motors run hot. Any higher, and bulbs burn out prematurely, and possibly damage electronics like the TV. 220 to 240 is the next step up, and some things like air conditioners are fine with 208 volt (two legs of 120/208 three phase) or 240 volt, just draw a bit less current at 240 while drawing a few more watts, thus supplying a bit more power. Like the air conditioner would cool a bit more at 240.

Answer 5

460 volt has twice the electromagnetic force of 230V. It is a powerful voltage and quite unforgiving. If you're not trained to work with it, stay clear of it. No kidding.

Answer 6

You don't step up..... you only step down....

Answer 7

The difference is the voltage level. If you connect a device to 250 VAC while it was supposed to be connected to 115 VAC it will damage it. But not vice versa.
