construction trailer wiring

[jaykool]

I have a construction trailer that needs power.

Panel inside trailer is 240V, 100A, single phase.

The power source I have available is 208V, 3 phase panel.

If I power trailer with 208V, single phase...will I have any significant issues? We are talking about some lights, receptacles, and a A/C.

Lights-No
120v receptacles-No
Stove and WH-No
A/C - maybe, is the nameplate 208-230?

Any 240 volt resistive loads (heat, water heater, etc.) will heat up rather slowly due to the lower voltage.

True, but I would be more concerned about the A/C motor and compressor getting the correct voltage, if it is not dual rated

I have done a ton of construction trailers and have not done one yet that the AC was not rated for 208 or 240.

There's always a first time.. :grin:
