Commercial lighting. In a facility where 3 phase 480 volts is needed for machinery, 277 is also readily available because each leg of 480 to ground is 277 volts. This way numerous supply Transformers are not needed in a commercial building.

What voltage reading would you get from a 277 480 volt system?
From a three phase four wire distribution system the voltages would be as follows. From L1 to N - 277 volts. From L2 to N - 277 volts. From L3 to N - 277 volts. From L1 to L2 - 480 volts. From L2 to L3 - 480 volts. From L3 to L1 -480 volts.
Will a switching power supply work on 277 volts?
Not unless it is rated for that voltage. You can likely find a step down transformer from 277 volt sto 120 volts.
What is 277 volts?
Oh, dude, 277 volts is like the amount of electrical pressure or force in a circuit. It's like when you're trying to charge your phone, but on a much larger scale. So, if you're dealing with 277 volts, just make sure you're careful, or you might end up with a shocking experience.
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.
How many wires needed for 220 volts ac though emt?
Two wires are needed for 220 volts.
