German Table Saw 460V

[SOMDJosh]

The Carpenter where I work Just got a really fancy table saw from Germany with a name plate voltage of 460Vs, we were told to just hook it up to a 480V circuit. The saw is not operating as it should and the techs from the company said we need to supply 460Vs to the saw. I asked the supply house for a 480V Delta to 460V delta transformer and they said it needs to be custom made and its very expensive. Is there another option I can do to solve this or does someone know of a different transformer I can order?

I find it hard to believe that a 20 volt difference at that voltage matters. Is the saw rated for 50 Hz or 60 Hz?

1) What 'flavor' of 480V is your current supply? (It could be 480/277V wye, 480V ungrounded delta, etc.)

2) Did the fancy saw give an error message?

3) Does the fancy say use VFDs internally?

4) Does the fancy saw need 460V or 416V?
