Best Answer

The voltage of 277 volts is the wye voltage of a three phase 480 volt distribution. In the 480 volt CDP (Central Distribution Panel), you will need a 600 volt rated single pole 15 amp breaker installed in the CDP. The load will be connected to the output terminal of the breaker and the other conductor will be connected to the neutral bus in the CDP. The minimum size conductor for the 15 amp circuit will be a #12 copper conductor.

Can a 266 volt heater be wired to 480 volt circuit?

No, it would overheat, might blow the fuse, otherwise it might catch fire.


Is the voltage on a 120 volt fluorescent lighting circuit the same from line to neutral and line to ground?

Yes, to the precision you can measure it. If it isn't you need to check the ground to neutral bonding at main panel and check the wiring in the circuit for loose connections.


Is there an adapter that will make a 110 volt refrigerator receptacle into a 220 volt?

No. You need to rewire the circuit from the electric panel.


Can you plug your natural gas furnace into a 120 volt receptacle?

The furnace can be but it is not a good idea. Safety code requires a disconnect switch outside the area where the furnace is situated. This switch is used for an emergency shut down in case something electrically goes wrong with the furnace. In modern homes these furnaces are wired to a dedicated 120 volt circuit from the distribution panel. From the panel, the circuit is routed to the safety switch. From the safety switch, the circuit then continues to the furnace load.


How do you wire a 240 volt street light circuit?

A 240 volt street light circuit is wired in parallel connections. In the base of the street fixture an inline fuse is connected into the circuit that goes up to the fixture to protect the lamp head.


Can a standard 40 amp 208-240 volt single phase oven be wired to a 240 volt three phase circuit without using a transformer?

No, a single-phase oven cannot be wired to a three-phase circuit without a transformer. The electrical systems are incompatible and may result in damage to the oven or the circuit. It is recommended to use the appropriate circuit or consult with a licensed electrician for proper installation.

What circuit breaker to install for 10 amp 250 volt circuit?

For a 10 amp, 250 volt circuit, you should install a circuit breaker rated for at least 10 amps and 250 volts. A common option would be a single-pole, 10 amp circuit breaker designed for 240-250 volt applications. Be sure to check the specifications and compatibility with your specific electrical panel.


Can 12 volt charger charge 3 batteries wired in series?

No, if they are wired in series you have 36 volts assuming each battery is a 12 volt battery. They will have to be wired in parallel to output 12 volts. In that case you can charge them with a 12 volt charger but it will take 3 times as long as charging just one 12 volt battery.


Can i use a 220 volt ac in the basement to run branch circuits for 110 volt lighting?

Yes, you can use a 220-volt circuit in the basement to run branch circuits for 110-volt lighting. You would need to install a step-down transformer near the lighting circuits to reduce the voltage from 220 to 110 volts. Make sure to adhere to electrical codes and regulations when setting up the system to ensure safety and proper functioning.
