Hi guys I been searching for diagrams on how to hook up 480V and can't find any.
So here is the problem:
I have a box W.A. Benjamin (old one) that is rated at 480Y/277.
I tested the three leads against the ground and got 208V each. How to get get 3 wires of 480V from this box? Do I do the following?
Connect the 3 live wires the following way.
A-B = for the first 480V wire going into the circuit breaker input 1
B-C = for the second 480V wire going into the circuit breaker input 2
A-C = for the third 480V wire going into the circuit breaker input 3
then run it to my motor. The motor is already hooked up just waiting for the (3) 480V wires.
Just wanted to get a confirmation before I make the hookup. I don't want anything to blow because of the high voltage.
Thanks in advance.
Peter
