Yes, but the 600 volts would have to be transformed down to 480 volts. Direct connection to the motor with 600 volts would overheat the motor to destruction.

The voltage 277 volts is a three phase line to neutral voltage of a 480 volt system. What is needed for the protection of the transformer is a two pole breaker from the 480 volt CDP (Central Distribution Panel). The breaker will be sized to the KVA of the transformer. The wire will be sized to the breaker plus 25%. The electrical code requires that on motor and transformer feeders, they be sized to 125% of the total current capacity of the equipment.
480 volts and 60ohm impedence current = volt/impedence current=480/60 current=8ampeares
It is hard to see a question here. Both of these voltages are currently use in electrical systems today. Both voltages are related to three phase systems. A voltage of 208 volts is a three phase wye system that has a voltage of 208 between lines L1, L2 and L3 and 120 volts between any of the lines and neutral. A voltage of 277 is the line to neutral voltage of a 480 volt three phase wye system. There is a voltage of 480 between L1, L2 and L3 and 277 volts between any of the lines and neutral.
This high a voltage is an industrial voltage. If you are concerned about variations in the voltage call your utility supplier to get them to check it for you. They can connect a recording volt meter to the line an it gives a print out over a 24 hour period. If that is not an option call a qualified electrical contractor and ask him to take a reading for you. A voltage of 480 volts is not a voltage that the ordinary layman should be opening panels and getting into.
You should not need a wiring diagram. If the generator has a star point (wye) connection then the phase voltage to ground (star point) is 277 volts. 480/1.73 = 277.
No, it is not recommended to run a 570 volt motor on a 480 volt power supply. The motor is rated for a specific voltage to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage. Running the motor at a lower voltage could result in overheating and premature failure.
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.
480 volt amperage and up to higher voltage
No. A 277 volt ballast needs the correct voltage to operate. The 277 voltage is derived from the star point voltage of a 480 volt three phase system (277/480). The 208 voltage is a three phase line voltage whose star-point voltage is 120 volts (120/208).
No, it is not safe or recommended to tape a 480 volt color wire with 120 volt phase tape. The colors denote different voltage levels, and using incorrect voltage tape can lead to electrical hazards and potential safety risks. It is important to always use the appropriate voltage-rated materials as per industry standards and regulations.
It is not recommended to power a 480 volt motor with a 575 volt drive as the drive output voltage may exceed the motor's insulation rating, potentially causing damage to the motor. It is best to use a drive that matches the motor's voltage rating to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Inspect all motor labels and see if they are dual voltage motors. If they are, they should have a label on them telling you how to convert the motors for 480 volt. This is a relative simple task. Converting to 480 volts will lower the motor current to half of the 230 volt rating, so you will have to change the overload heaters in the individual motor starters. You need to do this to protect the motors in case of overloading. Last the control transformer will need to be reconnected for 480 volt.
No, SJ cord is only rated for 300 volts and is not suitable for use with 480 volts. It is important to use the correct voltage rated cord for safety and to prevent damage to equipment. Look for cords that are specifically rated for 480 volts.
Yes, you would typically need a transformer to step up the voltage from 480 volts to 575 volts in order to safely run a machine that requires 575 volts. Operating the machine at a lower voltage than specified can lead to performance issues and potential damage.
A 277 volt lighting fixture is one that is usually used in an industrial application. The reason for this is the voltage rating. A voltage potential of 277 volts is the voltage to neutral (ground) of a three phase four wire 480 volt distribution system. 480 volts / 1.73 = 277 volts. Rather than having to add a transformer to the system to provide 120 volts for lighting, manufactures produced a ballast for fluorescent fixtures that operates on the 227 volt potential.
A 480 v three-phase system has 480 v between live lines and 277 v from each line to the neutral. This type of supply is common in North America for supplying for example small factories that need more power than a 120/208 v three-phase system can supply.
