What is the typical voltage of a control transformer for a three phase 480 volt starter?

Most 3 Phase 480V Starters are controlled by 120VAC. This is because the coils on the contactors (starters) are 120VAC. Just ensure the voltage matches the coil.

What is the difference between control transformer and Potential transformer?
Control transformer used only for control supply 110,220, 24,12V AC. But Potential transformer used voltage measurement purpose.
The incoming voltage from the current source to the transformer is called what?
The incoming voltage from the source to the transformer is called primary voltage.
What is a Voltage compensator?
a control used to manually adjust the transformer to compensate for inconsistent electrical output
Is it the value of input voltage equal the value of output voltage?
No. There are several factors that may affect the output voltage. For instance: Resistors, Transformer, Voltage regulators and others that can control the output voltage to a certain level.
How much output voltage is there if input voltage from a transformer is 32v?
It depends on the turns ratio of the transformer.
What would the control voltage be for a transformer marked 240v 24vac?
A control transformer marked 240V - 24Vac would have a control voltage of 24 volts.
Does a 3 phase motor starter with a 120 volt coil need a neutral to the coil?
Usually for this type of installation there is a control transformer installed in the starter enclosure. The primary of the transformer is the motors line voltage and the secondary is the control voltage which is usually 120 volts. In Canada the control transformer needs fusing on the secondary side of the transformer. In the US the transformer needs fusing on the primary and secondary sides of the transformer. The secondary side of the transformer's terminals are labeled X1 and X2. The X2 lead is grounded to the starter's enclosure. From this point out the wire is then termed the circuit's neutral wire. This wire then connects to one side of the magnetic starters draw in coil. Yes, 120 volt coil would require a neutral, this could be derived from the control transformer if it has one or from an external source.

What is the transformer and starter?
A transformer is a static device which is used to step up or step down voltage without changing frequency. A starter is a device used to start the motors.It is used to limit the starting current to a safe value.
What is a transformer that increases voltage?
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
What is the voltage that supplies a motor starter called?
In the electrical trade it is called control voltage. This voltage can be any voltage. In North America the common control voltage is 120 volts.
What is the output of the control transformer?
Depends on what the voltage is being stepped down in that particular control transformer. Control transformers usually step down a voltage of 480/208v to 120V. The 120Volts can now be used in safer manner to "control" start/stop buttons, and other components that are only built to run on 120V
The incoming voltage from the current source to the transformer is called what?
The incoming voltage from the source to the transformer is called primary voltage.
What is the main different between the power transformer and voltage transformer?
Voltage Tarnsformer transforms only voltage. While power transformer transforms both voltage and current.
What is a Voltage compensator?
a control used to manually adjust the transformer to compensate for inconsistent electrical output
When is a step up transformer used in relationship as to when a step down transformer is used?
If the voltage needs to be increased from a lower voltage to a higher voltage a step up transformer is used. If the voltage needs to be lowered from a higher voltage to a lower voltage a step down transformer is used.
Does a transformer provide electrical energy that is produced chemically?
No. A transformer transforms electrical energy, from one voltage to another voltage.No. A transformer transforms electrical energy, from one voltage to another voltage.No. A transformer transforms electrical energy, from one voltage to another voltage.No. A transformer transforms electrical energy, from one voltage to another voltage.
