Yes, work is 600 volt and 240 volt because there is a transformer.
Ok so using 240 volt 3 phase power only makes sense if you have the option. Basically from your explanation it reduces the amount of amps a appliance uses?
So you say "with the addition of one wire." Where is this wire connected to the ballast?
Normally on single phase 240 volt power the black wire is connected to the 240 volt wire on the ballast and the white wire is connected to the common wire. on the lamp side, the LHS wire is connected to the white wire and the "lamp" wire is connected to the black wire.
hope this makes sense

Or both, because they have a transformer?
As long as the voltage at work is 240 volt , the ballast will work.
A simple explanation between 1 & 3 phase;
100 amps at 240 volt 1 phase can provide 24000 watts of power
100 amps at 240 volt 3 phase can provide 41520 watts of power
with the addition of one wire.
Single phase loads can be connected to a 3 phase power source,by only using two of the three power wires.
The intention of 3 phase is not to save money for operations, but to provide more power capacity with lower initial costs. |
