    Can you get single phase 208(2 legs) from 3phase4wire120/208 panel
    I have an air compressor rated 230/460. I only have available 3phase 4 wire 120/208. Can I use a 2 pole breaker and get 208, and then use a boost transformer to reach 230, or will the compressor operate effeceintly enough with 208 using the 5% rule for operating voltages?

    Clarify the rating of air compressor(230/460). If in delta connection it is suitable for 220V 3ph give 220V 3ph and run it.

    This rating of voltage (230V / 460V) 3ph for 60Hz power supply.
    Delta connection for 230V & star connection for 460V.

Hi, What is it that makes 3 phase power more efficient? Suppose I need an air compressor for a printing shop and I can choose between a 7.5HP single phase and a 7.5HP 3 phase. Ignoring that the cost of the motor is a little less for 3 phase, why is the motor more efficient and how does...
