What is typical single phase voltage in Canada?

The standard nominal voltage in Canada for a single-phase residential supply is 240/120-V split-phase supply.


What is the primary amps on a 25kva tranformer with input volts 480 Volts AC?

if it's single-phase, 25,000 divided by 480.


How do you obtain a 230 volts single phase supply from a 400 volts three phase four wire supply?

400 volt three phase on a grounded system is 230 volt single phase, with each phase 120 degrees apart. So, if you have a 400 volt, three phase four wire service (grounded service), you can pull one phase off and reference to the neutral for 230 volt service. Note this may not allow 115 volt service, unless there is also a center tap for each phase.


What its the difference between 110 single phase and 220 single phase?

Answer for USA and Canada power supply service. Electrical panel layout might explain where the two numbers come from on a single phase installation On a electrical panel boards the wiring numbers go from left to right, top to bottom. There are 2 hot legs coming into the panel. L1 and L2. Breakers on L1 are 1,2,5,6,9,10. Breakers on L2 are 3,4,7,8,11,12. This is a 12 circuit board. This configuration allows every two adjacent breakers to connect to 240 volts. Example 1 and 3, 3 and 5, 5 and 7, 7 and 9, 9 and 11. Same with the even number side. So you see that a two pole breaker connects across the two hot legs L1 and L2 no matter where it is on the panel board. Any of these breakers on a panel board to the neutral will give you 120 volts no matter if the supply leg is L1 or L2. Just remember L1 to Neutral equals 120 volts, L2 to Neutral equals 120 volts, L1 to L2 equals 240 volts. The amperage of a breaker is a limit of the amount of amperage it will allow to pass before it will trip. The wire has to be the right size for the breaker. Under sized wire will heat up if more current is applied to it that its rating will allow.


What size breaker is required for a 13.8 kw electric heater 3 phase 208 volts?

For a 13.8 kW electric heater at 208 volts, you would need a 3-phase circuit with a minimum of a 50-amp breaker to handle the load safely. This calculation is done by dividing the power (13,800 watts) by the voltage (208 volts) and then dividing by the square root of 3 (since it's a 3-phase system).

How will a 3 phase panel give you 110 volts and 220 volts?

A three phase panel will not give you 110 and 220 volts. A three phase four wire panel will, but not at these voltages. The nearest voltages will be 120 and 208 volts. The 120 volt is the wye voltage of 208 volts. 208/1.73 = 120 volts. A single phase three wire panel will give you 110 and 220 volts.


Is 380 volts electric motor a single phase or 3 Phase?

It is probably a three phase 50 Hz motor.


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.


How do you get single phase 440 from three phase 440?

You Don't. 440volt 3-phase is actually 480 volts, taking a single phase gives 277Volts single phase. To get single phase 440 you would use one leg of three phase 440/760 three phase power.


Can there be 600 volt single phase power?

Yes there is single phase for 600 volts. It is used for lighting. You need a transformer which gives you 600 volts plus a neutral. The voltage for the one phase to neutral is 347.


What are the specific electrical requirements for a device that operates on 208 volts single phase power?

A device that operates on 208 volts single phase power requires a power source that provides 208 volts of electricity in a single phase. It is important to ensure that the device is compatible with this specific voltage to prevent damage or malfunction.


Can you buy a converter to connect to 240 single phase and convert it to 208 3 phase for electric grill?

If you mean by a converter, a transformer, to change the voltages then yes 240 volts can be transformed with a step down transformer from 240 volts to 208 volts in a single phase system. To answer the question single phase can not be converted to three phase without additional expensive equipment. One piece of equipment that will do it is a variable frequency drive. Another piece of equipment is a roto-phase. Either of these pieces of equipment would probably cost more than the grill you are trying to supply a voltage to.

How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts on each line?

For a single phase circuit, the equation you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


What is max single phase hp as per nec?

The maximum single phase HP motor listed in the CEC is 10 HP. At 115 volts 100 amps and 230 volts 50 amps.


How do you calculate 440v phase?

Let's get the terminology correct. A 'phase voltage' is measured across a phase, whereas a line voltage is measured between two lines. So there is no such thing as a 'phase to phase' voltage -it's a line to line voltage (hence the term 'line voltage').


Can you get a 3 phase supply from single phase and how?

No, you cannot get a three phase supply directly from a single phase supply. Nowadays electronic inverter units can be bought that will do the job. For very low power loads the cost of such invertors is quite reasonable but for high power loads they are very expensive. For high-power industrial uses the most economical solution is to have a 3-phase service installed by the local electric power utility company.
