You can use a step-up transformer. Transformers are rated in primary voltage, secondary voltage, kVA, phases (single and three) and other parameters then equipped with indoor and outdoor enclosures. Be sure to consult a professional engineer or electrician when choosing and installing a step-up transformer. There are several NEC issues involved as well as choosing a transformer that is right for the type of load you have. One without the proper licensing AND knowledge of transformer circuits should never install 480V wiring or transformers.

Can you feed a 208v 200amp panel from 480v 20amp circuit?

Not directly, you would need to transform 480v circuit to 120v with a transformer first.


Can you take single phase of 120V with a hot wire and a neutral step up to 480v and then step down to 2 phases of 120V or do you have to input 2 phases of 120v to get 240V out?

Theoretically that can be done with transformers, but the power available would still be limited by the circuit breaker on the original 120 v supply.

How many watts in 120v-60Hz-12A?

To calculate watts, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts × Amps. For a 120V, 60Hz, 12A circuit, it would be: 120V × 12A = 1,440 watts. Therefore, the circuit uses 1,440 watts.

How do you power a 480V device from 120V home or kitchen outlet?

A: My advice is do not try it 120 v will require 480v /120 or 4 times the current. assuming 100% efficiency. a transformer can do it but there will be a loss of 20% . House wiring is 15 amps per circuit . So if your whatever unit needs more the 3 amps it just cannot be done. A PWM can also do this job more efficiently but then again the total power is in question.


Wh would someone divide16.4kva by 480v?

Answer: To determine the amperage in a circuit. Notes: Power (in watts) = Volts * Amps 16.4 KVA = 480V * Amps 16400 / 480 = Amps ~34.2 = Amps

In a 120V 24A circuit what amp fuse is needed to protect it?

A 30A fuse would be appropriate to protect a 120V 24A circuit, as fuses are typically chosen to be slightly higher than the circuit load to prevent nuisance tripping.


What is low voltage transmission?

In the supply industry it refers to circuits of below 1000 volts. Common voltages used are 120v, 208v, 230v, 240v, 277v, 400v, 415v, 480v.


How do you convert 480v to 120v?

to derive 120 volts from 480 volts you have to use a transformer, based on your needs. If you needed 100 amps at 120 volt single phase you would need a 12kva transformer. This is just an example.
