I have a customer who purchased a 230/480 motor to run his propane distribution pumps for a new facility. If I understand my options for the service I could install a 208 Y system. I have been told to use a buck boost transformer to acomplish the higher voltages. 2nd I've been told that the motor will probalby run fine on the lower voltage. 3rd I could install a 240 volt delta system. However, some people claim the local power company will not install these anymore. 4th I've been told to install a single phase system and use a power inverter to get my 3rd leg and the system would be at the right voltage. I am looking for any suggestions or myth busters on this topic. Also, Why would you manufacture a 230 polyphase motor since that voltage is not standard?
