THANKS Averagesupernova

Overall I will be able to use 2 of the 3 pahses (which is going across one phase) to achieve the 220V. As far as me stating 220 and 240, Its a bad habiit of mine. Our shop has 480V 3 phase that I work on and somtimes other electricians wil state 440V when technicaly it not. Just bad habbits. We...

One More note on the "The breaker panel has 3 phase breakers in it and single phase breakers.(one leg to groung for the 110v) " This box has single pole breakers and 3 pole breakers. No double pole breakers.(No 220) The 3 pole breakers operate 3 phase compresors on some freezers in a...

you are correct Geniere. It was one I was going to buy. I havnt had to do to much on the 240 delta systems so it was kinda new to me. The plant I work in is 480 grounded 4 leg Y system. We do have 1 1000kva 240 delta transformer for our heat treat but everything is 3 phase operated. any single...

Ive seen the sine wave for 3 phase. When one leg is at its peak the second is 2\3 on it way down and the last one is 1/3 on it way back up to peak. So each one is 120 out of phase with each other. So If I am going across 2 of these 3 legs I get the 240v but thought I would also get the 120 phase...

Well I will be using 2 of the 3 phases to operate the single phase 240V motor. I am concerned about the phase shift of the 120 vs 180. As far as the center tap is concerned, This would go to ground on a delta system to achieve a 120v system.

Hello to all. :smile: If I have a 240v 3 phase delta system, My phase to phase is 240V. there is no center tap on the phase for 120V. If I hook up a single phase 240V motor to 2 of the 3 phase delta legs, will the motor perform correctly? I didnt know if the 120 deg phase shift would keep...
