can I get 208 v from a 480 V

[jumacao]

Hi:
Just trying to determine what to ask during a machine installation.

Can I get a 208 V power from a 480 power source ?

A transformer is commonly used to do just that.

Maybe he was a tad elaborate. Could have simply said;

"Transformer"

Fortunately, my ISP doesn't charge by the word.

yes you can get it through transformer 480 to 208 and it can be made on order or demand
