The higher the voltage, the less amperage is required and is easier to supply power to the device. Motors take much more power than lighting, therefore voltages may be higher for easier transmission.

How do you change a 3 phase 440 volt motor to a 3 phase 220 volt motor?
You can not change it. 440 volt is by design. However you run it with 220 single phase supply, but it would run far lower power.
How do you get single phase 440 from three phase 440?
You Don't. 440volt 3-phase is actually 480 volts, taking a single phase gives 277Volts single phase. To get single phase 440 you would use one leg of three phase 440/760 three phase power.
Can you change a 440 volt 12.5 uF start capacitor with a 370 volt 12.5uF run capacitor?
There are two ways to read this: you have a burned-out run capacitor on your motor and a good start capacitor in your parts box, and you have a burned-out start capacitor and a good run capacitor. If the run capacitor's bad and you want to put the higher-voltage start cap in its place, the answer is yes. This is called derating, and the only thing it does for you is increases the lifespan of the capacitor because you're not working it as hard as it can take. If the start capacitor's bad, don't do this--they used a 440-volt capacitor in there for a reason.
What amp would a 440 3 phase motor have?
Need to know the horsepower of the motor.
You are measuring 480 volt from phase to phase and 280 volt phase to ground but one leg measures 440 volt phase to ground why?
Check for a blown fuse in one of the phase legs.
How do you change a 3 phase 440 volt motor to a 3 phase 220 volt motor?
You can not change it. 440 volt is by design. However you run it with 220 single phase supply, but it would run far lower power.
Can a 220 volt motor run on 440 volts?
No it will fry the motor use a voltege reducer
Can a 440 volt capacitor be used for a 230 volt application?
No. The capacitor will short out and possibly explode. On the other hand, the 440 Volt Cap can be used in a 220 Volt circuit.
How to convert 440 VOLTS to 380 VOLTS?
3 phase 220 volt submersible motor convert to 440 volt
How do you get single phase 440 from three phase 440?
You Don't. 440volt 3-phase is actually 480 volts, taking a single phase gives 277Volts single phase. To get single phase 440 you would use one leg of three phase 440/760 three phase power.
In a 440 volt and 220 volt or 100 volt feeder panel what do you call a component that monitor the wiring condition of the feeder?
Grounding monitor
What happens if a 220 motor was conneted to the power source for a 440 motor?
winding will burn.
What is the greatest common factor of 220 440 and 880?
The greatest common factor of 220, 440, and 880 is 220
What is the Horse power of 1978 dodge 440 motor home?
Between 200 AND 220 hp , i have one !
What is the difference between 3 phase 440volts distribution and 3 phase 220v distribution?
About 220 volts. They're just different voltage levels. 440 volt services can provide more power than 220 volt services typically.
What is the LCM of 55 and 88 and 220?
The LCM is 440.
Can you run 440 volt appliances off a 220 volt supply?
The appliance should be marked with the correct voltage range, and the voltage applied must lie within this range. Otherwise it might be dangerous.
