It depends on your definition of efficiency. 480 can certainly push more power than 208 through the same size conductors, but it would not be efficient to wire a motor for 480 when 208 was all that was needed.

How do you convert 120VAC 60Hz to 208 230 1 Phase?
you need a step up transformer
What is 208 - 230 volt three phase?
In the United States, 208v can be either. It is generally the voltage supplied by a 120/208v 3 phase system. However, using 2 legs of this 3 phase system is called single phase. I won't go into the reasons for that but just understand that 208v can be either single phase or 3 phase.
Can you use 220 Volt 3 Phase as 208 Volt 3 Phase?
Yes by using a 3-phase transformer. The size depends on how much power has to be converted.
How is it possible that a chicken rotisserie that uses 208v 3 phase can have a motor that uses 208v?
Two scenarios are that the motor could be a three phase motor. These three phase motors are manufactured in smaller sizes. The other scenario is that the motor is a 208/220 volt single phase motor. It will operate on 208 volts by taking two legs of the three phase supply for its operation.
In a 3 phase 480 panel what voltage should you get phase to phase?
The voltage you are referring to is a 'line-to-line' voltage ('line voltage'), as there is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' voltage.480 volts. In real life, the voltage will vary slightly by up to 3% (14 V) on a properly sized circuit. Line to neutral will measure 277 volts, plus or minus 3%.

How do you convert 230v to 208 volts single phase?
A source of 208 volts can be obtained from any two legs of a three phase four wire 208 volt system. The two legs are classed as single phase 208 volts. The lead tags can be L1-L2, L2-L3, or L3-L1 all of which will give you 208 volts. Any of these lead tags to the grounded star point (wye) will give you 120 volts.
What is a 100 amp 208 single phase?
That is 20.8 kVa but a 208 v single phase supply is very rare. 208 v is usually three-phase, with 120v between neutral and the live wires.
How do you covert 120 volts to 208 volts?
Single phase or three phase? 120/208 would be measured hot to ground for 120 and hot to hot (phase to phase) for the 208 reading. Any hot to ground will read 120 and any two phases together will read 208.
How does 120 volts come from 208 volts?
208 is a three phase wye connection voltage. To obtain the each individual coil voltage the 208 is divided by 1.73 which equals to 120 volts. Hence you have 3 phase 208 voltage on the phase legs and 120 volts to the wye point which is grounded. This same formula is used on any 3 phase system. 600/347, 480/277, 208/120.
Can you convert 1 phase to 3 phases?
You can buy a converter. Here is one example of many available on the web.Phase-A-Matic PAM-300HD Phase Converter, Static, 1-3 HPPhase Converter, Static, Input Voltage 208-242, Output Voltage 208-242, Input Phase AC 1, Output Phase AC 3, Input (Amps) 15, Output Amps 9.6 ...
How can change voltage from 440 v 3 phase to 208 v 3 phase?
I have 12 amps 208/3/60 what would the amps be @ 440/3

How do you convert 208 v 2160 Amperes to KVA?
To convert amps to kVA, you use the following formula: Amps = (kVA x 1000 / voltage) / 1.73
How many amps does 30KW strip heater draw at 208 volts 3PH?
Assuming it is a 208-volt line voltage (as normal in 3-phase) the phase voltage is that divided by sqrt(3), or 120 volts. Each phase has to supply 10 kW so the current on each phase is 83.3 amps.
Can you buy a converter to connect to 240 single phase and convert it to 208 3 phase for electric grill?
If you mean by a converter, a transformer, to change the voltages then yes 240 volts can be transformed with a step down transformer from 240 volts to 208 volts in a single phase system. To answer the question single phase can not be converted to three phase without additional expensive equipment. One piece of equipment that will do it is a variable frequency drive. Another piece of equipment is a roto-phase. Either of these pieces of equipment would probably cost more than the grill you are trying to supply a voltage to.
Can you use 220 Volt 3 Phase as 208 Volt 3 Phase?
Yes by using a 3-phase transformer. The size depends on how much power has to be converted.
