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.
If the supply voltage is Vs and the equipment voltage is Va, then the equipment will work if Va = Vs (equation). But if Vs / Va = 220 / 120 (equation) the equipment will fail.
The unit of electrical potential is the volt. The volt was named for the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta.
No, the source voltage can not change to a lower voltage without using equipment to do so.
While you can physically do this it violates the Electrical Code. 110 Volt and 220 Volt receptacles are required by the Electrical Code to be on separate breakers for safety reasons, this would put them on the same 220 Volt breaker.
The Grove RT58C crane typically comes equipped with a 12-volt electrical system.
For measuring electrical Current the electrical equipment used is Amphere meter. This equipment tells the current flow in the equipment.
If the supply voltage is Vs and the equipment voltage is Va, then the equipment will work if Va = Vs (equation). But if Vs / Va = 220 / 120 (equation) the equipment will fail.

Fluke offers electrical testers and electrical test equipment to name a couple. They even carry voltage detectors and volt alert. On their website they even offer demos and videos.
The Volt
If your equipment is from North America then yes you will need an adapter as the Australians use a 230 volt system.
It shouldn't damage the equipment. But it will probably not work properly.
Yes.
temporary it blows or KABOOOMM....

Yes. It is done all the time in automotive electrical systems. The alternator, which creates AC, has its current rectified using diodes.
