The utility company can provide a 480 volt, single phase service from a single phase transformer, usually with a three wire service. 480 volts is measured between the two line conductors, and 240 volts is measured between either line conductor and the common neutral conductor. The voltage of the line conductors are at 180 degrees with respect to the neutral conductor.

If i had 480 volts that is read between phases what would be the single phase voltage value read between a single-phase to ground?

In a three-phase system, the line-to-line voltage (480 volts) can be related to the line-to-ground (or phase) voltage using the formula: ( V_{phase} = \frac{V_{line}}{\sqrt{3}} ). Therefore, the single-phase voltage value read between a single phase and ground would be approximately ( 480 , \text{V} / \sqrt{3} ), which is about 277 volts.


Do you need to multiply times 1.73 on a 480 volt 3 phase transformer running 480 volt single phase loads?

No, you do not need to multiply by 1.73 for a 480-volt three-phase transformer supplying 480-volt single-phase loads. The factor of 1.73 (or √3) is used when converting between line-to-line and line-to-neutral voltages in a three-phase system. Since both the transformer and the loads are operating at the same voltage level (480 volts), no adjustment is necessary.


How do I locate a Step up transformer from 240 3 phase to 480 single phase?

Call your local utility.


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 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.

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.

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.


How do you plug single phase 208 into three phase 480 commercial power supply?

only use one pole. you should definitely refer to the manufacturer's schematics


Can you tap off a 3 phase 277volt ac light fixture to power a single phase 120 volt ac recptacle?

NO! The voltages available in the 3-phase system are 480 (if you wire phase to phase) and 277 (if you wire phase to neutral) Don't try it!


How do you get a 220 volt single phase from 380 volt 3phase synchrounos generator?

220 volt single phase from 480 volt 3 phase that one wire taken one phase and second wire connected in earth point. we get 220 v The above answer is incorrect, one phase from a three phase 480 volt system will give you 277 volts to ground. You must use a transformer to get the voltage you need.


What is the ratio of a 480vac single phase and a 120 vac secondary voltage?

The ratio for a 480 VAC to 120 VAC is 4 to 1.


What would full load amps be on a 480volt 90 kw electric heater be pulling 36 amps per leg?

90 kW on 480 volts single phase would be 187.5 amps. On 480 v 3-phase it would be 108 amps.
