AC voltage conversions are usually done with Transformers.
Most commonly, a 3 phase 277/480v system is transformed to a 3 phase 120/208v system. You can, however transform to anything you like with the proper transformer. If you are trying to convert 480v single phase to 240v single phase, such as for home use, then ask for that type transformer. It would use only 2 phases of the 3 phase system. Using 2 phases is called single phase and there are reasons for this that are beyond the scope of this answer.
220v and 110v are field measurements of what is considered 240v and 120v when ordering equipment or applying code.

A 480-volt circuit has an impedace of 60 ohms what is the current?
480 volts and 60ohm impedence current = volt/impedence current=480/60 current=8ampeares
Can you run a 480 volt machine with 600 volt incoming voltage?
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.
What is the output current of a 480 Volt primary 208 volt secondary - 3 phase transformer?
You need to mention the Load connected to find the current.
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.
What is the minimum allowable side distance from 480 volt electrical panel and emergency safety shower?
30 inches
How do you convert 208 volt amps to 480 volt amps?
Add another leg of 120 to a three pole breaker.
How do you produce 120V lines from 240V lines without using a transformer?
220 volt AC current is achieved by having two 110 volt lines with opposite waves or phases. One line will be positive while the other is negative then they flip or alternate 60 times a second (60 hertz). When connecting a volt meter to each of these lines it will read 220volts. Connecting a volt meter from either line to ground will read 110. I don't know if your question is backwards, but in a home you shouldn't have any lines that read 220 volts to ground. In a business or shop there can be 240 volt lines which combined can make 480 for industrial equipment. If your 220 is an older style and only has two hots and a ground (red,black,bare/green) you can't make a 110. If your 220 has 2 hots (red,black), a neutral (white), and a ground (bare/green), you can get 110 from either of the hots (black,red) to neutral (white).
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.
How is electrical energy delivered to the end users?
End users generally subscribe to an electrical service according to their power needs. A residential home, for instance, might have a three-wire, 220-volt, single-phase service rated at between 60 and 200 amps, to a service panel supplying 110-volt and 220-volt branch circuits. A commercial end-user may need three-phase 277/480-volt system supplied on 4 wires, rated for 800 amps overhead or more underground.
What percent of 480 is 110?
It is 100*110/480 = 22.9% approx.
Wiring diagram to convert a 3 phase 480 volt generator to 277 volt?
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.
Can you run 480 volt motors in a 380 volt system?
Can I run 480 volt , 60 HZ motor at a 380 volt , 60 Hz system?
Can 480 volt electric be run in emt conduit?
Yes 480 volt electric wiring can be run in emt conduit.
A 480-volt circuit has an impedace of 60 ohms what is the current?
480 volts and 60ohm impedence current = volt/impedence current=480/60 current=8ampeares
Can you convert a 277 volt ac unit to 230 volt?
There in no quick and inexpensive way of doing this conversion. A transformer would have to be used and this type of winding is not common. 277 volts is the wye voltage of a three phase 480 volt system.
Is sj cord rated for 300 volts to be used for 480 volt?
No. The voltage rating needs to be 600 volts for 480 volt power.
Can a 575 volt drive power a 480 volt motor?
No, that is too much.
