How do you obtain a 230 volts single phase supply from a 400 volts three phase four wire supply?

You can use a transformer to step down the voltage from 400 volts three phase to 230 volts single phase. Connect one of the phases and the neutral of the three phase supply to the transformer primary winding and then connect the secondary winding to get the desired 230 volts single phase supply.

What size wire is needed for 400 amp 480 volt service?

A 500 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 430. Most 400 amp services will use parallel wires on each leg to feed the circuit. A 3/0 wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 200 and 225 amps respectively. The insulation rating of these conductors will be 600 volts.

Will a 9 volt 800 milliamp adapter work with a 9 volt 400 milliamp device?

Yes, the 9 volt 800 milliamp adapter will work with the 9 volt 400 milliamp device. The device will only draw the amount of current it requires, so having a higher amperage rating on the adapter is fine. The voltage should match to ensure compatibility.
