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.
In a three phase four wire wye system having 277V for lighting the three phase motors operate on what voltage?
480 Volt
What is the full load current of a 50 hp three phase ac motor operating at 230 v?
Assuming you can get a three-phase 230 v supply, which has 133 v between neutral and each live, the full-load current assuming a 30% increase for power-factor and efficiency considerations would be 120 amps. In Europe the standard three-phase supply is 400 v. In the US three-phase supplies are normally 208 v or 480 v and an alternative option is a 240/480 v split-phase (single-phase) supply.
In a 480 Volt 3-phase power supply what is the voltage between each lead?
Assuming this is a WYE connected system: (Most commercial/industrial services are) Your question answered it: 480 volts. The phase to phase voltage on this system is 480 volts and the phase to ground voltage is 277 volts.AnswerThe 'leads' you refer to are more-properly called 'lines', and the voltage between any pair is called a 'line voltage' (not a 'phase voltage', as stated in the original answer). The rated voltages of three-phase systems, regardless of whether they are three-wire (delta) systems or four-wire (star/wye) systems are always quoted in terms of their 'line voltages'. So, to answer your question, the line voltage ('voltage between leads' ) of your three-phase system is 480 V. If your system is a four-wire star/wye system, then the phase voltage voltage, or 'line-to-neutral' (not 'phase to ground') voltage is the line voltage divided by 1.732, i.e. 277 V.
Can you get 120 volts from a 480 volts 3 phase Y generator?
NO, the 480 Volts Y -- is 4 wire system, with three wires which are hot legs @ 480 volts between each three hot legs. A mid tap is a neutral leg (ground) the white wire. Which gives 277 volts between it and any of the three hot legs. so a 4wire 480 volt Y system. Gives 480 /277 volts.

What is the voltage between each lead of a 480 volt three phase delta secondary?
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.
Should 2 legs of 480 volt 3 phase each have 480 volts?
Across a 480 volt three phase system, 480 volts should appear across L1 and L2, L2 and L3 and L3 and L1.
In a 3 phase 480 panel what voltage should you get phase to phase?
The voltage you are referring to is a 'line-to-line' voltage ('line voltage'), as there is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' voltage.480 volts. In real life, the voltage will vary slightly by up to 3% (14 V) on a properly sized circuit. Line to neutral will measure 277 volts, plus or minus 3%.
In a three phase four wire wye system having 277V for lighting the three phase motors operate on what voltage?
480 Volt
What color is in a 480 volt three phase service?
brown blue yallow
Do you need a neutral to install 480 volts 3 phase heater?
If the heater is rated as a 3 phase 480 volt heater then a neutral is not needed. If the voltage stated is 277 volts three phase then a neutral is needed.
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 tap off of a 480 volt disconnect?
You don't. You hire a qualified electrician who doesn't need to read this page for the answer. That said, if you are merely curious as to the methods: "480" Volt will be 3-phase with either Delta wiring (480 phase-to-phase, NO neutral), or Wye wiring (480 phase-to-phase, and 277 phase-to-neutral). You can use this directly, to run three phase equipment from all three phases, to run equipment at 480 from just two phases (being careful to keep loads balanced), or to run lighting circuits from the 277-to-neutral (being careful to size the neutral conductor carefully). You can also step it down to "208", which will be 208 phase to phase and 120 phase to neutral -- "standard" line voltage. But seriously, if you need to ask the question, you SHOULD NOT be touching 480 switchgear and wiring, for the safety of both yourself and others.
What is the three phase voltage in America?
It varies by location and application. I will assume for this answer that we are talking low voltage (<1000 VAC): Grounded Wye Systems: 208/120 (Common) 480/277 (Common) 600/347 (Rare) Delta: 480 (ungrounded) 240/120 (grounded high-leg) 480/480 (corner grounded- rare and dangerous) The convention used above i.e. 208/120 designates the phase-phase voltage (208) and the phase to ground voltage (120). Some of the common Medium Voltage systems: 4.16 kV, 7.2 kV, 12.47 kV, 13.8kV
What is the most typical industrial three-phase voltage in Thailand?
The most typical three-phase voltage used in China is 380 V.
What is the wiring diagram of a 277V panel in layman's terms?
A 277V panel typically has three hot wires, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. The three hot wires supply the voltage to the panel, with the neutral wire providing a return path for the current, and the ground wire is for safety. Each hot wire carries 277 volts relative to the neutral wire. It's important to follow proper electrical codes and safety precautions when working with this type of panel.
