Some control circuits remain at line voltage but most use a reduced voltage of 120 volts. This is acquired by the use of a control transformer 480 primary to 120 volts secondary.

Are Ground fault circuit interrupter GFCI devices available for use on 240 volt 480 volt and 600 volt circuits?

Yes, GFCI devices are available for use on 240-volt, 480-volt, and 600-volt circuits. They come in different voltage ratings to suit various electrical systems and provide protection against electric shocks by quickly shutting off power if a ground fault is detected. It's important to ensure the GFCI device is rated for the specific voltage of the circuit it will be used on.


How do you wire a 277 volt heater from 480 volt box?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.The 277 volt heater can be wired to a single pole breaker in a 3 phase 4 wire 480 volt distribution panel. The breaker should be sized to the amperage draw of the heater. 277 volts is the star point (wye) voltage of a 480 3 phase system. 480 / 1.73 = 277 volts. The third answer is not correct, two phase legs of a 480 volt system will give you 480 volts. It is the phase leg to ground (neutral) that gives you the 277 volts.A 277 Volt heater or device may not be wired to a 480 Volt circuit or box. A 277 Volt device may only be wired to a circuit rated for 277V/480V equipment.2 legs of 480 volts will give you 277. But since you don't know the answer you probably shouldn't be doing it! Please don't kill yourself, hire a licensed electrician.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

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.


What is the benefits of using 277 volt electrical equipment?

with 3 phase lighting you do not have to use as large of wire and can use one neutral for every 3 current carrying conductors so it cut down on material costs ( as voltage increases current decreases) <<>> The voltage 277 is the star-point voltage of a 480 volt three phase system. By using a 480 volt wye system you have the dual ability of running 480 volt three phase equipment along with 277 volt lighting. The side advantage is the ability of using the phase voltage to ground (neutral) 480 / 1.73 = 277 volts for general lighting of the building the 480 volt equipment is located in.

Can you have 480 volt motor circuit in the same raceway with 120 volt control wire?

Yes, you can have a 480-volt motor circuit in the same raceway as a 120-volt control wire, but there are specific code requirements that must be followed to ensure safety and compliance. The National Electrical Code (NEC) allows this, provided that the conductors are properly sized, insulated for their respective voltages, and that any necessary separation or barriers are in place to prevent interference. It's essential to consult local codes and regulations, as they may have additional requirements.
