What is the maximum volts that can be used on a 208 230 volt motor?
You should not go above 240 volts for that type of motor.
How many Amps for 3 horsepower at 208 volts?
For a single phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 18.7 amps. For a three phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 10.5 amps. This figure is derived at by taking the full load amps at 230 volts and adding 10%. As the voltage goes down the amperage goes up. For 200 volt motors 15% is added to the FLA of a 230 volt motor.
Can you hook up 208 volts on a 230 volt motor?
Yes, a 230 volt electric motor can run on 208 volts. The horsepower will be lowered by .9 or to 90% of the nameplate rating. e.g. A 230 volt 10 HP motor will only produce 9 HP at 208 volts. Note: If motor sees a load equal to its' rated HP it will over amp and shorten the live of the motor and/or trip out on internal overload.
What is the difference between 208 volt and 220 volt power?
The main difference between the two voltages is that the 208 volts is a three phase voltage and 220 volts in North America is a single phase voltage. If you operate a 220 volt motor on 208 volts the current will be 5% higher that the motor's nameplate rating. If the load is resistive and you operate a 220 volt baseboard heater on 208 volts the true heater wattage will not be reached because of Ohm's law. Current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit. The following statement is not true as many motors will have the two voltages on the motor's nameplate. You can operate a 208 volt motor or appliance on 240 volt, but that will decrease life expectancy by 50%.
What size breaker for a 208 volt single phase motor that pulls 1.4 amps?
208 volts is not a common single phase voltage but you could just size your breaker to the capabilities of the conductor. 208 is normally a phase to phase voltage <<>> Many 230 volt motors can be connected to lower voltage supplies. These motors can be connected to supplies of 208 and 200 volts. The code requirement is that the 230 volt full load amperage of the motor be increased by 10% and 15% respectively for wire sizing and breaker selection. To answer the question you will need a two pole 15 amp breaker.
What is the maximum volts that can be used on a 208 230 volt motor?
You should not go above 240 volts for that type of motor.
Will 220 volt work in a high volt 3 phase motor?
Yes a 208 voltage motor will operate on 220 volts. You have to increase the motor overload protection by 10% of the motor's full load amperage to protect the motor.
Does a 208 volt outlet need a neutral?
No a 208 volt outlet does not need a neutral. 208 volts is the line voltage between any two legs of a three phase 208 volt system.
How many Amps for 3 horsepower at 208 volts?
For a single phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 18.7 amps. For a three phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 10.5 amps. This figure is derived at by taking the full load amps at 230 volts and adding 10%. As the voltage goes down the amperage goes up. For 200 volt motors 15% is added to the FLA of a 230 volt motor.
Can you operate a 208 volt on 110 volt?
The United States is one of the only places in the world that uses 110 volts instead 220 volts. In order to operate 208 volts on a 110 volt electrical current, you will need a voltage converter.
Can you hook up 208 volts on a 230 volt motor?
Yes, a 230 volt electric motor can run on 208 volts. The horsepower will be lowered by .9 or to 90% of the nameplate rating. e.g. A 230 volt 10 HP motor will only produce 9 HP at 208 volts.

What is a 208 circuit?
The 208 volt configuration is one phase of a three phase source at 240 volts, where the 208 volt circuit is connected between the center tap of one 240 volt phase (usually a grounded neutral, in the style of a standard 120/240 split phase system) and the high delta connection on either of the other two phases. 208 circuit would consist of two phases of a 208 volt wye system or could be all three phases. The voltage between conductors would be 208 volts. The voltage to ground from any phase would be 120 volts. A 240 volt delta system would give you a high leg to ground, somewhere around 190 volts and the other two would be 120 volts to ground.
Why won't a 230-460 volt motor work on a 120-208 volt circuit?
Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
What size breaker for a 208 volt single phase motor that pulls 1.4 amps?

What are the voltage requirements for the equipment, specifically in relation to the keyword 208/230 volt?
The equipment requires a voltage of either 208 or 230 volts.
Can a 230 volt supply be reduced down to 208 volts?
Yes it can be transformed from one voltage to the other.
