You'd need to supply a "Buck-Boost" transformer to do this properly. Technically, the 265 VAC is one hot leg and neutral of a 480 VAC 3 Phase Y system that measures 277 VAC. The 265 number comes from this:
265 is the standard nameplate voltage for a 277 volt motor or AC unit.
230 is standard name plate for 240. 200 is standard name plate for 208 460 is standard name plate for 480. 110 is standard name plate for 120.
Most electricians call the hot leg / neutral circuit "277V AC".
Some popular "Buck-Boost" transformers will convert 208 to 240 and 240 to 208 volt systems, and 240 to 277 and 277 to 240 volt systems - among many other variations. These are auto-transformers as the primary secondary windings share a connection. KVA ratings differ significantly from name plate because of this fact. You should contact a qualified electrician to not only size, but wire the transformer for you. Failure to install a Buck-Boost transformer - and running this unit on 240V AC mains will cause premature failure of motors - fans and compressor due to overheating. This can also result in a fire hazard.
Sounds like regulator in side panel rear LHS or Alternator or both if battert is able to hold a charge. volt meter on DC setting with bike on idel should give 13.8 volts and rise to at least 15 Volts and no more at 3000rpm. if not disconnect 3 yellow wires into the regulator test the 3 wires running away back to the alternator on AC setting. This is 3 phase AC test i the following pattern terminal 1-2 1-3 2-3 with bike ideling shoul give 15-20volts AC. at 4000 rpm voltage should rise to 56-60 volts AC. With bike turned off test resistance in Ohms. Between phases should be no more than 8 ohms and between each phase to each shold be zero or infinity. if you get any other than the above then you have found your issue. regards Mr.T
What you bought is an industrial voltage heater and I purchased one last year as well. According to the manual and the model number you give it translates to 30 kilowatts 60 is 600 volts AC the -3 is three phase. This is only for three phase 600 volt operation, and no you can not wire this heater single phase it will not work period. Even if you do wire this thing at 220 volts single phase double pole there would not be enough voltage to run the fan let alone heat the elements. Can you return the heater? By the way Fastenal is the distributor for these that is where mine was purchased. All of my information is out of the manual that I got with my purchase of a Fostoria FES3048-3.
Hi,
Here's what I think but you will have to check it out...
The fan motor in the 39 heater is a 120V fan there fore it cannot be hooked to the 240 which potentially could have the high (wild) leg as one of the fan legs...
The 240V 36 unit probably has a 240v fan motor....
Now if you were to make sure that the leg that fed the motor was a 120V to ground leg then you will be okay...
Hope you understand where I was going with this...
You cannot wire a three phase motor for single phase and you cannot wire a single phase motor for three phase. If you have a three phase dual voltage motor your options are 220 or 440 volts. If you have a single phase dual voltage motor your options are 120 or 240 volts. A 208 volt Hobart motor will only function correctly on 208 volts and is not dual voltage.
It is indeed possible to use ONE Phase to run a motor, You simply use One Phase and Neutral. BUT ONLY if the 3 phase is Double, more or less, the required usage Voltage, EG: 440 3 phase, will be OK, for 220 single phase, . But 220 3 Phase,will not run a 240. single Phase. So in your case is suspect not, it really will do no harm to try though. it just wouldn't work, if not enough "juice", be careful.

Contact Phase Linear directly and tell them you bought a used car that needed to un-hook the battery to fix. You can come up with the rest of the answer right? Let me know if it work. Goodluck.
