It's highly probably that the '240 V' refers to the machine's phase voltage. In which case, its line voltage will be 1.732 times larger -i.e. 415 V. Phase voltages are measured between any line conductor and the neutral conductor, whereas line voltages are measured between any pair of the three line conductors.
What else can I help you with?
What is the minimum volt rating of wire used in a 3 phase 4160 volt phase to phase system?
5000 volt
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!
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.
On a 220 volt electric motor which is the neutral wire L1 L2 or L3?
If the motor wire numbers are L1, L2 and L3, it is not a single phase motor. It is a three phase motor. Also for future reference, a 220 volt single phase motor does not use a neutral.
Why does one line of 3 phase 480v show 0 volts and the other 2 have 480?
My first thought is this is probably a corner grounded delta system, but I'm confused by your voltages. If this was a 460v (L-L voltage) ungrounded or corner grounded system, the phase to ground voltage is meaningless, but the phase to phas voltage will be 460v all around the delta. If you have a 460v system and you're only seeing 230v, there's something wrong.
What is the minimum volt rating of wire used in a 3 phase 4160 volt phase to phase system?
5000 volt
How do you obtain a 230 volts single phase supply from a 400 volts three phase four wire supply?
400 volt three phase on a grounded system is 230 volt single phase, with each phase 120 degrees apart. So, if you have a 400 volt, three phase four wire service (grounded service), you can pull one phase off and reference to the neutral for 230 volt service. Note this may not allow 115 volt service, unless there is also a center tap for each phase.
What conductor should be grounded in a four wire three phase system?
The neutral conductor is typically grounded in a four-wire three-phase system to provide a path for fault currents to return to the source and to stabilize the system voltage. Grounding the neutral also helps to protect equipment and personnel from electrical hazards.
Can you wire up a 240 volt single phase water heater to 277 volt single phase?
no
In a three phase four wire wye system having 277V for lighting the three phase motors operate on what voltage?
480 Volt
What standard colors of wire would you use for a neutral on 120 Volt and 277 Volt three phase four wire systems?
For 120/208v 3 phase system: black, red, blue, white For 277/480v 3 phase system: brown, orange, yellow, gray Phase colors are not stipulated in the code book for the United States. The above colors are used by convention. Neutrals, however, must be white or gray.
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!
How do you tell if the ground wire is bad?
If the voltage between real ground and the ground wire is not 0.0000 Volt, then the wire is not grounded properly.
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.
Do you get a shock when you touch the phase wire of single phase?
Only if you are grounded and provide a return path for the current to travel.
What size wire do you need for a 200 Amp 240 Volt 3 phase 4 wire service on a doctors office?
You might be out of luck. Three phase delta 240 volt services are a thing of the past. As far as I know there never was a 240 volt three phase four wire. The line to neutral voltage would be 240/1.73 = 139 volts which is of no use to anyone. Three phase four wire system for business and commercial use these days is 120/208 volts. A 3/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 225 amps.
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.
