230V motor on 208v

To properly answer this question, we would need to have the actual motor ratings and operating load conditions, I. As with most North American motors in that voltage class, yours appears to be rated for 230V or 208V operation, although it will probably pull about more current when it is operating on 208V. There will be no special programming for the VF and the motor will operate as designed although it will may . Most motors that are rated at 2volts will run on 2volt power, although this is not recommended. Volt Motors on 208-Volt Service.

Will slightly under-powering 3-phase shop equipment cause trouble?

Probably not, but there are ways to modify voltage just in case.

When motor failures then occurre the complaint was “low voltage. Electrical phases are commonly called legs. Single Phase AC Motor Voltages.

If you are forced into the situation, one option is to employ a buck-boost autotransformer which can provide the rated voltage.

Which the supplier should design and install at no cost to . Also, under the 2setup, a HP 230V motor can make 10HP. If the voltage is too low, the motor might not start, or spin slower and likely overheat from trying to get to its rated r. There can be 110V or 115V supplied from gri thereby, from phase to phase totaling to 220v or 230v. It is only pumping about half the volume -per-minute at half the head as it is supposed to be moving. The pump is wired at 240V 3-phase.

I am wondering if the pump motor is actually tapped . Or will amps always increase and overheat the motor ? Full load amps, wire and conduit sizes for three phase electrical motors.

Typical full load current, minimum wire size and conduit size for 230V and 460V three phase electrical motors : . The voltages listed are rated motor voltages. The full-load current values are . Power Supply Test For single phase motors , the expected voltage is about 230V or 208V depending whether you are using the UK or America voltage system. Check that the correct voltage is applied to the motor.

Any idea why this would start happening now?

Current (I) = Kilovolt Amps = KVA. Example: Motor HP, 208V ,phase . Just as 230V , 460V and 575V are the motor design voltages for 24 4and 600V Distribution Voltages. Close Coupled Pump Motor Design Features.

Note that the voltage in the above example coincides with the voltage rating of some motors that are applied on 208V systems.
