In the United States, 208v can be either. It is generally the voltage supplied by a 120/208v 3 phase system. However, using 2 legs of this 3 phase system is called single phase. I won't go into the reasons for that but just understand that 208v can be either single phase or 3 phase.

∙ 9y ago208 v three-phase is used in some properties in the USA because it provides a voltage of 120 v between line and neutral. An appliance might be marked as 208-230 v three phase because that is the voltage range it has been designed for.

Will a 208 volt 3 phase generator supply operate a 230 volt 3 phase motor?
Yes, but the motor's horsepower rating will not be reached.
Can a 380volt's 3 phase motor can be converted to 230volt's three phase motor?
Only if you want to damage it. "277" Volt 3-phase will usually mean 277 from each phase to neutral, and 480 from phase to phase. By "230 3-phase", you likely mean 120 phase-to-neutral, and 208 phase-to-phase. If you really mean 230, then you are probably NOT talking about a three phase motor.
Can you run single phase 230 from one side of 480 volt 3 phase?
No, you will not obtain 230 volts. From a wye connected three phase 480 volt supply, 277 volts can be obtained from one phase leg and the neutral on the wye connection. 480 volts/1.73 (sq. root of 3) = 277 volts.
How do you convert 120VAC 60Hz to 208 230 1 Phase?
you need a step up transformer
Can the star point of a 400 volt three phase generator be grounded to produce 240 volts?
A 400/230-V three-phase generator hase three line terminals, together with a neutral terminal. The line voltage (i.e. the voltage between any pair of line terminals) is 400 V, while the phase voltage (i.e. the voltage between any line terminal and the neutral terminal) is 230 V.
Will a 208 volt 3 phase generator supply operate a 230 volt 3 phase motor?
Yes, but the motor's horsepower rating will not be reached.
What is the voltage for Sweden?
Outlet for standard electronics is 230 Volt , 50HzThe master feed into Swedish houses is 400 Volt three-phase , 50Hz.When 400 Volt three-phase is split in three single phases it becomes threesingle 230 VoltBigger appliances , e.g Washing-machines, dryers, stoves, used to be400 Volt three-phase, but nowadays most washing-machines and dryersare built for 230 Volt single-phase.
Why won't a 230-460 volt motor work on a 120-208 volt circuit?
Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
How many Amps for 3 horsepower at 208 volts?
For a single phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 18.7 amps. For a three phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 10.5 amps. This figure is derived at by taking the full load amps at 230 volts and adding 10%. As the voltage goes down the amperage goes up. For 200 volt motors 15% is added to the FLA of a 230 volt motor.
What size breaker for a 208 volt single phase motor that pulls 1.4 amps?
208 volts is not a common single phase voltage but you could just size your breaker to the capabilities of the conductor. 208 is normally a phase to phase voltage <<>> Many 230 volt motors can be connected to lower voltage supplies. These motors can be connected to supplies of 208 and 200 volts. The code requirement is that the 230 volt full load amperage of the motor be increased by 10% and 15% respectively for wire sizing and breaker selection. To answer the question you will need a two pole 15 amp breaker.

How do you convert 230v to 208 volts single phase?
A source of 208 volts can be obtained from any two legs of a three phase four wire 208 volt system. The two legs are classed as single phase 208 volts. The lead tags can be L1-L2, L2-L3, or L3-L1 all of which will give you 208 volts. Any of these lead tags to the grounded star point (wye) will give you 120 volts.
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 is the 60 Hz on a welder with the listed input as 208 230 volt single phase 60Hz?
60 Hertz is the frequency that the welder should be connected to, to work as it is designed to.
Can a 380volt's 3 phase motor can be converted to 230volt's three phase motor?
Only if you want to damage it. "277" Volt 3-phase will usually mean 277 from each phase to neutral, and 480 from phase to phase. By "230 3-phase", you likely mean 120 phase-to-neutral, and 208 phase-to-phase. If you really mean 230, then you are probably NOT talking about a three phase motor.
Can you run single phase 230 from one side of 480 volt 3 phase?
No, you will not obtain 230 volts. From a wye connected three phase 480 volt supply, 277 volts can be obtained from one phase leg and the neutral on the wye connection. 480 volts/1.73 (sq. root of 3) = 277 volts.
Can you hook up 208 volts on a 230 volt motor?
Yes, a 230 volt electric motor can run on 208 volts. The horsepower will be lowered by .9 or to 90% of the nameplate rating. e.g. A 230 volt 10 HP motor will only produce 9 HP at 208 volts. Note: If motor sees a load equal to its' rated HP it will over amp and shorten the live of the motor and/or trip out on internal overload.
