Will a step up transformer from 208 to 480 save on power bill?

No, you are billed for the energy used so in principle the voltage does not affect the cost. The equipment used is designed for a set voltage and cannot be used on a different voltage. The reason to choose 480 v instead of 208 v would be based on the size of the site, and if there are distances of more than 300 ft involved in the power supply it might be economical to start with a 480 v system. The choices are between 120/208 v and 277/480 v so that using the higher voltage will require the installation of 277 v lighting


Why are commercial lights 277 volts?

Many commercial buildings in the US are supplied with 480 V, three-phase utility power. The phase to neutral voltage of a 480 V system happens to be 277 V. 277 V lighting can be fed directly, eliminating the need for additional transformers and related gear.


In a 480 Volt 3-phase power supply what is the voltage between each lead?

Assuming this is a WYE connected system: (Most commercial/industrial services are) Your question answered it: 480 volts. The phase to phase voltage on this system is 480 volts and the phase to ground voltage is 277 volts.AnswerThe 'leads' you refer to are more-properly called 'lines', and the voltage between any pair is called a 'line voltage' (not a 'phase voltage', as stated in the original answer). The rated voltages of three-phase systems, regardless of whether they are three-wire (delta) systems or four-wire (star/wye) systems are always quoted in terms of their 'line voltages'. So, to answer your question, the line voltage ('voltage between leads' ) of your three-phase system is 480 V. If your system is a four-wire star/wye system, then the phase voltage voltage, or 'line-to-neutral' (not 'phase to ground') voltage is the line voltage divided by 1.732, i.e. 277 V.


What is the full load current of a 50 hp three phase ac motor operating at 230 v?

Assuming you can get a three-phase 230 v supply, which has 133 v between neutral and each live, the full-load current assuming a 30% increase for power-factor and efficiency considerations would be 120 amps. In Europe the standard three-phase supply is 400 v. In the US three-phase supplies are normally 208 v or 480 v and an alternative option is a 240/480 v split-phase (single-phase) supply.


What is the voltage drop across each phase if a wye connected load has a voltage of 480 v applied to it?

What is the voltage between each lead of a 480 volt three phase delta secondary?

A 480 v three-phase system has 480 v between live lines and 277 v from each line to the neutral. This type of supply is common in North America for supplying for example small factories that need more power than a 120/208 v three-phase system can supply.


Can 480 volt electric be run in emt conduit?

Yes 480 volt electric wiring can be run in emt conduit.


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


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 many amp in 480 vac 3- phase primary transformer if the secondary it's 120 vac?

This 480-v three-phase transformer probably has a 208-v three-phase secondary which has 120 v from each line to neutral. In that case the primary current is 0.433 times as much as the secondary current, so 100 amps in the secondary means 43.3 amps in the primary.
