Absolutely not.

The rated voltage of the motor must match the supply voltage or at least be within 10%. The 240 V motor will be damaged or destroyed if hooked up in this manner.

2 amps on a 240 volts supply how much is being consumed?

P = E x I P = 240 x 2 P = 480 Watts


If building is serviced with 480 volts and you put a meter between ground and hot what will be the reading?

For alternating current, and assuming the supply transformer is properly grounded, you will have 240 volts to ground. 480 volts; single phase will have Line1 and Line2, both with 240 to ground and 480 across both Lines : three phase will have Line1, Line2, and Line3, all will have 240 to ground, and 480 across any two Lines. Same is true for 240 volt service, 120 to ground and 240 across. 120 volt service is 240 volt service using ground as neutral.


How many watts is 1 hp at 480volts?

A 1-HP motor is reckoned to draw 7 amps at 240 v single-phase. The same power of motor would draw 3.5 amps at 480 v single-phase, but a 480 v supply could most likely be a three-phase suppy, and the current in that case would be reckoned as 2 amps.


Can a 575 volt drive power a 480 volt motor?

It is not recommended to power a 480 volt motor with a 575 volt drive as the drive output voltage may exceed the motor's insulation rating, potentially causing damage to the motor. It is best to use a drive that matches the motor's voltage rating to ensure safe and efficient operation.


Can you run a 570 volt motor on 480 volt three phase power supply?

No, it is not recommended to run a 570 volt motor on a 480 volt power supply. The motor is rated for a specific voltage to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage. Running the motor at a lower voltage could result in overheating and premature failure.
