It will take longer to heat your water with less wattage.
Will a 240v heater run on 208v.
Putting it all together.
Can you run a 240v clothes dryer on a 208v 3 phase connection.
The important dfference othere than maybe having too high or low a voltage is that one of the input leads is either ground referenced or both are hot.
Can run 208v heater on 240v.
208v is a line to line voltage of a 208 120y system.
208v commercial electric water heaters previously purchased great for a variety of commercial installations these efficient units are built to last providing temperature controlled water where and when it s needed.
When you run 120 208v single phase power into an isolation transformer the two individual hot conductors of 120v are combined into one 208v waveform.
Some motors are actually dual rated for both 50 and 60 hz with corresponding different speed and amp ratings.
It is more likely a 208v 230v or 240v motor.
20a x 208v 4160 watts.
Say the tank draws 20 amps.
20a x 240v 4800 watts.
220v is a line to ground voltage of a 380 220y system.
