480 volt 3 phase light circuits from single phase power
Static Phase Converter
240 volt single phase to 480 volt 3 phase
Different methods are available to make single phase electrical power into 3 phase electrical power.
The reason for these higher voltage ages are that less amperage is consumed for the same wattage being operated. Example wattage/voltage=amps 120 volt single phase load at 1000 watt 1000/120=8.33 rounded off is 10 amp draw. Kick the voltage up for the same 1000 watt load to 480 volt and see the savings 1000/480=2.08.
Matching wattage loads is simple by totaling wattage to quantity of light fixtures operated at different voltage levels to determine lower utility cost or off grid to lower battery bank drain. Then size breaker protection at the higher voltage in 3 phase subpanel to control the required loads.
Once again it comes down to another switching point and breaker protection to control load to PLC smart microprocessor controlled island switching that has SCADA options
.
Endless options for free electrical power is possible by adding solar & wind for netzero metering, green energy, off grid electrical power and island style control on both dc & ac voltage levels.
Three phase electrical power can lower amp output by higher voltage increasing mini micro grid electrical power can be building blocks off the shelf built in stages as an investment that pays for itself and opens other electrical options as a charging sources for electric autos, crop watering remote power, telecom, cabins.
Electrical energy is a pure sinewave in utility grid transmission and generation that can be easily matched to power transfers from different sources added together to made an island style connected system aka mini micro grid electrical power.
