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%.
What else can I help you with?
Wiring diagram to convert a 3 phase 480 volt generator to 277 volt?
You should not need a wiring diagram. If the generator has a star point (wye) connection then the phase voltage to ground (star point) is 277 volts. 480/1.73 = 277.
What is the three phase voltage in America?
It varies by location and application. I will assume for this answer that we are talking low voltage (<1000 VAC): Grounded Wye Systems: 208/120 (Common) 480/277 (Common) 600/347 (Rare) Delta: 480 (ungrounded) 240/120 (grounded high-leg) 480/480 (corner grounded- rare and dangerous) The convention used above i.e. 208/120 designates the phase-phase voltage (208) and the phase to ground voltage (120). Some of the common Medium Voltage systems: 4.16 kV, 7.2 kV, 12.47 kV, 13.8kV
Do you need a neutral to install 480 volts 3 phase heater?
If the heater is rated as a 3 phase 480 volt heater then a neutral is not needed. If the voltage stated is 277 volts three phase then a neutral is needed.
How do you get 277 volts from a 480 volt line?
All three phase four wire systems have the ability to produce a voltage to ground or neutral. Take any phase voltage be it primary or secondary and divide it by the sq. root of 3 which equals (1.73) and you will obtain the phase to ground or neutral voltage. The ground and neutral should be of the same potential and when talking about electrical installations these two words get interchanged quite often. Some three phase secondary voltages are 208, 480 and 600 volts. Electricians will talk about voltages of 120/208, 277/480 and 347/600. The first number is the phase to neutral voltage and the second number is the phase to phase voltage.
What is the most typical industrial three-phase voltage in Thailand?
The most typical three-phase voltage used in China is 380 V.
Wiring diagram to convert a 3 phase 480 volt generator to 277 volt?
You should not need a wiring diagram. If the generator has a star point (wye) connection then the phase voltage to ground (star point) is 277 volts. 480/1.73 = 277.
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 voltage would be measured from any phase to ground on a 480 volt 3 phase wye system?
A voltage of 277 is the line to neutral (ground) voltage of a 480 volt wye three phase system. L1- N, L2 - N and L3 - N will give you 277 volts. L1 to L2. L2 to L3 and L3 to L1 will give you 480 volts.
What is the high leg in a three phase 480 panel?
there isnt a high leg in a three phase 480v panel only on 240v panels
Does a 480 volt panel have a neutral bus?
Usually yes. A typical 480 volt panel is a 3 phase panel with 480 volts line-to-line and 277 volts line-to-neutral. However, I did once see a panel that was 480 volts, 3 phase, but because it served only motors it did not have a neutral. (a 3 phase motor doesn't use a neutral.) Similarly, if a panel uses only 2 legs of a 3 phase 480 volt system, which would be called single phase, it would not require a neutral if it only feeds 480 volt single phase loads. But I find the idea of no neutral to be extremely unusual and in my one personal experience, I blamed it on the age of the system. In 16 years of commercial and industrial construction I have never installed a 3 phase panel without a neutral and all my work is designed by engineers.
What voltage of electricity is used in Morocco?
240/220 480 volts 3 phase
What is the voltage drop across each phase if a wye connected load has a voltage of 480 v applied to it?
.24
Is the voltage in a three-phase system stated by the phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground voltage e.g. 500kV or 290kV?
The voltage in a three phase delta system is stated by the phase to phase voltage. If it is a wye connection the phase to neutral is represented by the two voltages. e.g. 120/208, 240/415, 277/480, 347/600, 7225/12500, etc.
Can you connect a 277V ballast to 208V line service?
No. A 277 volt ballast needs the correct voltage to operate. The 277 voltage is derived from the star point voltage of a 480 volt three phase system (277/480). The 208 voltage is a three phase line voltage whose star-point voltage is 120 volts (120/208).
