I have a new jackson tempstar dishwasher, its a 208 single phase and currently has a 12 gauge wire running to the area. Is this large enough or does it need to be a lower gauge wire?

typically 6 gauge is what is needed for that voltage

Have a 3 phase compressor model vr5-8 want to know if it can be converted to single phase 230 volt and how

A 3phase motor cannot be rewired to run on single phase power. You need a phase converter. A 3-phase motor will only run on 3-phase power, and a phase converter will convert single phase power to 3 phase. Just google phase converter. There are two basic types, electronic and rotary. The rotary type are more powerful and efficient, but lot's more expensive than the electronic ones. Your only other option is to replace the motor with a single phase motor. Good luck.

Sorry bought magnum compressor 3phase but also runs 240v cannot get it to run on 240v any info would be realy helpfull ta Peter

if you have a 3phase motor it will only run using 3 phase power no matter what voltage or you can get a phase converter but they are pricey and varies with what horsepower your motor is

I have a miller cp 300. It is wired for 3 phase power. I need to hook it up to 230 volt power. How do I do this correctly.

You cannot do this... 3 phase and single phase cannot be inter used... see 3 phase is 440 V AC, single phase is 230 Vots AC. This is unless the unit has Dual capability, in this case the wiring could only be wired to a Single Phase. of the unit. You will need a slow blow breaker of the correct rating and also the cable must be similarly CURRENT rated. If it IS only 3 phase, you can purchase after market single phase to 3 phase converters, that will allow you to plug the 3 phase into a single phase circuit and work, they quite costly though.

I have 3phase in my shop. I have a new machine that is rated for 208v 3ph. how can I tell what my incoming voltage is?

You will need to take the cover off of the breaker panel. Find the three lugs that the incoming hot wires are hooked to. With three phase you will have three hot lines. Check the voltage between the phases. L1 - L2- L2- L3- and L1 - L3 Also check the voltage from each line to ground. If you havw 120/208 three phase current you will have 208 +or- a few voltage between the phases and 120 or so from each line to ground. If you have 120/240 three phase you will have 240v across the phases and 120 to ground on two legs and 208 to ground on one leg, this is called a "wild" or high leg. You may also have 480v into the shop and you will know that very quickily if you get 480v between phases. No matter if you have another voltage, you can buy a trandformer that can convert whatever you have to 208/120 3 phase for your unit.

I have a 310v 3 phase coffe machine how can i use

Hello tonyludlow1,
I can speak from personal experience with 3 phase. I built a 220v 3phase converter to run my 3 phase commercial table saw. I do not believe you will have success running a 310v 3 phase coffee unit. It is likely that the heating elements are set for 310v, and if you run it on 220v domestic wiring your heating elements would not heat optimally. If it could be done, you would need to rewire the electrics in the coffee unit to 220v. Sorry to be a downer. Positive feedback appreciated. Kind regards, NormanZ :o)

Need to convert 3 phase Hobart dishwasher to single phase

It will not be inexpensive to convert your dishmachine over to three phase. With everything that you will need to replace, depending on the model if converyor or not it may run close to what it costs to have 3phase run to the building that you plan to move into.

Hello. If the unit is rated 460v, 3phase, the only way you can get it to meet your supply of 208v, 3phase, is:
a) have a transformer installed to make 460 from your supply by an electrician, or call your power company and see if 460 could be supplied to your building, but it would only be for that machine.
or
b) replace the heating elements for the 208v supply, have the pump motor checked to see if it will work on 208v, and a control transformer for the control circuit, as well as all the wiring related to the pump and heaters, as on 208v, they will draw more current than on 460.
so, can it be done? yes. Is the expense worth it? only you can answer that, However I would suggest that you resell that machine, and get the correct one from the start.

Hope that helps, and thank you.

Keep in mind, that even though you are able to make changes to the machine to make it work with voltage ather than what it is designed to work with, any of those changes to the machine will make it inconsistent with the UL and NSF designation on the plates installed on the machine by the manufacturer. This means that the machine will be in non-compliance with UL and NSF regulations, putting you at risk for electrical problems/fires caused by the machine, health code non compliance, and regulatory fines.

There are only 2 solutions here.
A) Have an electrician install a 460 3 phase circuit for the machine that you have, or
B) Get a machine that is designed to work with your building's current voltage.

Any choice other than those is not adviseable.
I'm 3 years late, but it may save anyone looking at this from a lot of headache/fines from making a bad choice.

If you have 3phase motor then cant convert on 208VAC,but if motor is 1phase you can convert must have 220-250VAC.
