Can you run 230 on 208

Cisco's No. I've seen motors burn up because they got volts but were designed for volts or so. Due to the low voltage, they pulled extra amps and may have even stalled due to reduced torque. Can someone clarify this for me. I just want to be sure I am correct in assuming that V and V are the same in when it comes to powering a devices.

Obviously the wiring is different. Computer switching power supplies can easily be made to handle dual voltages in two ranges, or with just a bit more cost usually offset by the savings of producing and stocking a single part instead of two can handle the full range from volts as available in Japan to volts as available in China.

The ones listed as "" or "" should be just fine on In the USA, the volts connection involves two hot wires, each being volts relative to ground or neutral. This may pose some risk to appliances expecting one of the power supply wires that provide power to be grounded. Not all circuits have the neutral. You will see that in appliances that need to have both voltages, such as a stove with a volt light bulb in the oven.

The typical stove and clothes dryer circuits have the extra neutral wire for the extra voltage tap. Other uses don't need it, such as electric water heater, or air conditioners central or window type. A computer power supply designed for all countries will have to deal with that fact that in many countries, there is no specific polarization that defines which wire is grounded. This is the case with the classic Europlug and continues with the Schuko larger round grounded version of Europlug.

These can be reversed and are expected and now required to be equally as safe. That means neither wire is allowed to be touchable. Neither can be connected to a metal case. And in many countries such as Germany, it is not allowed to use the large screw in bulb bases on plug connected lamps because the rim of the socket is touchable and could present a volt shock if plugged in a certain way.

The computer power supply must be safe in dealing with this reversable plug. Rather than have extra cost circuit to detect a reversed plug and shut down, it's cheaper to just support either wire being hot by keeping them both isolated. That works out to an advantage for the USA style volt circuit.

The rocker style power switch controls both wires not just one. So it should be just as safe on USA volt power as it is on German volt power. It would be nominal for something expecting to volts. On 6 Jun GMT, snipped-for-privacy ipal. On Wed, 06 Jun snipped-for-privacy aol. They do make single phase in, 3 phase out UPS's. On 7 Jun GMT, snipped-for-privacy ipal.

If you can't get a rated motor or one which has multiple voltage ratings like , which are made -- then you're better off looking to insert transformation to get back up to volts; this could be a 2-winding transformer of volts or else you could get three 3 buck-boost transformers 2 winding units configured as auto-transformers to get you there. This motor was built to be used on V system.

Torque is current X flux. If the motor has a Service factor of 1. In North America, the utility companies are required to deliver split phase VAC for residential use. In the amps section, the separated numbers which are the same are the corresponding value for operation on or volts, respectively.

Most devices designed for will run on and in shops all over the place this is commonly done. This three Phase voltage is frequently used in small businesses. Although phase balanced can occur, there is no neutral connection on circuits, therefore no physical way for current to flow. The only purpose for a neutral would be for convenience outlets. Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly lighting and heating, with few large electric motors.

Locate and identify the ground or neutral terminal of the volt 3-phase system. Connect the input terminals of your circuit between any phase conductor and the neutral terminal of the system. This connection point will deliver volts to your circuit. There are several three-phase systems in the US, with various voltages involved, but they are beyond the scope of this answer. Yes you can. A motor design to run on will have a VAC rating. Location London, England.

It will probably be OK especialy if the nominal volt supply is on the generous side. Could be a problem though in hot conditions, or of the motor is heavily loaded, or if the volt supply is actually only about Exhibit View attachment Exhibit Location NE 9. Commonly called a buck - boost transformer. A very basic, long term, inexpensive way to fix the problem. For common sized fractional hp motors - may cost as much as motor.

I generally say let it run as long as it may run, and replace with motor rated to operate on volt when time comes. It seldom seems to come BTW. I agree, but would expand the criteria to include more than fractional HP motors. I have seen plenty of pump and compressor motors 1 to 5 HP V that run a long time on V. Starting switches fail more often than any thing else. I will add that our voltage is always around V. Same here. My point was that using an autotransformer to correct voltage may cost just as much or even more than replacing a small motor, maybe even up to about 2 hp.
