Method to obtain 415V from 240V supply

Method to obtain 415V from 240V supply

Method to obtain 415V from 240V supply

(OP)
We have some equipment for testing which is fitted with a 415V transformer and is usually connected across 2 phases of a 3-phase supply. The secondaries provide various output voltages such as 10.5V, 11V, 17V and 24V.

We only have a 1-ph 240V supply and of course if the transformer had only a single output we could have perhaps temporarily substituted the transformer but unfortunately we need its mutliple output voltages.

Is there a method we can use to connect the transformer indirectly to our 240V supply so we can do some off-site fault finding on the electronic boards which the various secondaries on the transformer supply?

RE: Method to obtain 415V from 240V supply

How about a 240V:415V transformer?

RE: Method to obtain 415V from 240V supply


Voltampere requirements are not stated, but you may be able to use a 480-240V transformer with a 240V powerstat.  

Is this a US location making export equipment?  Is testing the 415V assembly on 60Hz OK?  50Hz is used in many areas with 415V distribution.
