Yes, I was personally electrocuted at work by a transformer that had 480 volts. I have experienced memory loss for 2 years now. I also have some other conditions including depression, sleep deprivation, irritability's and others. I was wondering if any body has reported on memory loss due to electrocution and how severe it is.

What voltage reading would you get from a 277 480 volt system?

From a three phase four wire distribution system the voltages would be as follows. From L1 to N - 277 volts. From L2 to N - 277 volts. From L3 to N - 277 volts. From L1 to L2 - 480 volts. From L2 to L3 - 480 volts. From L3 to L1 -480 volts.


Can you run a 480 volt machine with 600 volt incoming voltage?

Yes, but the 600 volts would have to be transformed down to 480 volts. Direct connection to the motor with 600 volts would overheat the motor to destruction.


Do you need a transformer to run a 575 volt machine on 480 volts?

Yes, a three phase step up transformer with a primary of 480 volts and a secondary of 600 volts would be neededThis is quite common in North America where the US industrial / commercial voltage is 480 volts and Canada is 600 volts. The sizing of the transformer would depend on the connected load of the machine.


Can you get 120 volts from a 480 volts 3 phase Y generator?

NO, the 480 Volts Y -- is 4 wire system, with three wires which are hot legs @ 480 volts between each three hot legs. A mid tap is a neutral leg (ground) the white wire. Which gives 277 volts between it and any of the three hot legs. so a 4wire 480 volt Y system. Gives 480 /277 volts.


What is the primary amps on a 25kva tranformer with input volts 480 Volts AC?

if it's single-phase, 25,000 divided by 480.


Why isn't everything rated at 480 volts?

Not everything needs to be. Many standard wire insulations are rated at 600 volts, some 300, and some are more or less. It would be cost-prohibitive to have everything rated at 480 volts. Especially things designed to operate at 120 volts. Things rated for 480 but running at 120 would be physically larger than necessary, and therefore more expensive. If you're wondering why everything doesn't just run at 480 it's because it's not safe for residential applications.


Is sj cord rated for 300 volts to be used for 480 volt?

No. The voltage rating needs to be 600 volts for 480 volt power.


1500 kva transformer equals how many amps at 480 volts?

480 volts is probably 3-phase (Line to line) voltage, so: 1500K / (480 x 1.732) = I = 1804Amps


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.


Which consumes more power 480 volts or 240 volts?

Volts isn't power. Volts times amps is power, also known as watts. Thus 480 volts at 2 amps consumes 960 watts, which is the same power usage of 240 volts at 4 amps or 120 volts at 8 Amps.


Why are the outputs of AC generators multiples of 120 volts - like 120 volts and 240 volts and 480 volts?

It is simply a product of standardization.
