Are all 480 Volt light fixtures 3 phase or are some single phase?

I do not believe any lighting fixtures of any voltage have ever been made to work off of three-phase circuits. Light Fixtures are always single-phase 2-wire circuits In the USA the standard voltages for branch circuits are: 120, 208, 240, 277 or 480 The light fixture must be rated to match whichever field voltage is being used. Some light fixtures are made multi-rated so they can be used on more than one circuit voltage

In a 240 volt single phase circuit A phase is 4000 watts B phase is 7000 watts what is the neutral load?
Question is incorrect. in a 240 Volt single phase circuit, how can you have A phase and B phase?
Is there a single phase 460 volt variable speed control?
No you need a Roto Phase
Can a 230 volt single phase watt hour meter be used to monitor 115 volt single phase?
Yes it would work pretty well but it might not meet its accuracy specification.
Can you tap off a 3 phase 277volt ac light fixture to power a single phase 120 volt ac recptacle?
NO! The voltages available in the 3-phase system are 480 (if you wire phase to phase) and 277 (if you wire phase to neutral) Don't try it!
What is the ac equivalent of 98v DC?
120 volt single phase rectifies to about 96 volt DC
Can you wire up a 240 volt single phase water heater to 277 volt single phase?
no

How do you get a 220 volt single phase from 380 volt 3phase synchrounos generator?
220 volt single phase from 480 volt 3 phase that one wire taken one phase and second wire connected in earth point. we get 220 v The above answer is incorrect, one phase from a three phase 480 volt system will give you 277 volts to ground. You must use a transformer to get the voltage you need.
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.
What transformer do you need if you have primary voltage of 600 3 phase and require 240 volt 1 phase?
A single phase 600 to 240 Volt transformer using two phases of the three phase primary.
Can you use 240 volt 3 phase to run a machine that is 240 volt single phase?
Yes, if the motor is rated 240 volts 3 phase.There is such a thing as 240 volt 3 phase power.However if you are asking if you can use 240 volts single phase on a three phase motor, then the answer is no.
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.
Does a 2 horsepower rotary converter plug into 120 single phase and convert it to plug in a 3 phase outlet?
All my experience with rotary phase converters have been in converting 240 volt single phase into 240 volt three phase. They all were hard wired into their respective systems, so my answer is no.
