ELECTRICAL VOLTAGES AVAILABLETESTING AND ADJUSTINGNote in this Y, Wye, or Star arrangement that a single-phase voltage is always equal to the higher voltagedivided by 1.732.Figure 23-Phase Delta Common Voltages:110/220; 120/240; 208; 440; 460; 480The lower voltage of this delta, dual voltage system isobtained from one Line (L1 or L2) and the center tap (C)of one transformer coil. That center tap is usuallyconnected to an earth ground. Note that these lowersingle-phase voltages are equal to one-half of the highervoltage. The higher listed voltage can be single-phaseobtained from any two Lines: L1 to L2, L2 to L3 or L3 toL1. A three-phase voltage can also be obtained from aconnection to L1, L2 and L3. Some industrial plants mayalso require 208 volts single-phase in addition to120/240 volts single-phase, and 240 volts three-phase.The 208 volts can be obtained by connection to L3 andC.Commercial power sources often identify their secondary(user) distribution by voltage and phase. (Example, 240-1o, 460-30.)FREQUENCY/VOLTAGE AVAILABLE FROM SR 4GENERATORSAll SR 4 Generators can readily operate at either 50 Hzor 60 Hz. Regulated voltage output is proportional togenerator speed. As an example, the 480 volt 60 Hz(1800 rpm) generator will produce a 400 volt 50 Hzsupply at 1500 rpm.SR 4 Generators are offered in three basic voltagelevels. The nominal voltage available from one of thesebasic voltage levels, plus reconnectable line leads, and awide voltage level adjustment range, permit the SR 4 tomatch the commercial frequencies, and most of thecommercial voltages.SR 4 Generators are "Y" (Star) connected three-phasemachines and have 10 line leads, as shown in Figure 3.These leads can be field connected, as illustrated inFigures 4 and 5, to produce the following voltages at thefrequency shown:Frequency (1)NominalNominalVoltageAdjustmentRangeUpDownHz(Volts) (2)(Volts)(Volts)60120/208Y6/116/11 (3)or240/416Y12/2112/21 (4)60139/240Y7/127/12 (3) (5)or277/480Y14/2414/24 (4) (5)50115/200Y6/106/10 (3)or230/400Y12/2012/20 (4) (6)60173/300Y9/159/15 (3)or346/600Y17/3017/30 (4)50139/240Y14/247/12 (3)or277/480Y28/4814/24 (4)NOTES:1.SR 4 Generators are designed for 50 or 60 Hzoperation. Nominal voltage is proportional tospeed.2.The slant line indicates a line-to-neutral singlephase' voltage and a line-to-line three-phasevoltage. Both voltages are available at the sametime.3.Generator coils are parallel connected.4.Generator coils are series connected.5.The 139/240Y or 277/480Y volt 5N43, 5N46,5N48, 5N56, and 5N58 Generators have a broadrange voltage regulator capable of adjustmentdown to 120/208 or 240/416 volts.6.400 volt, 50 Hz SR 4 Generators will develop up to420 volts, no load.ApplicationLarger 50 Hz industrial loads require three-phase powerin the range of 380 to 420 volts. Additionally, thesesystems often require single-phase voltages in the rangeof 220 to 240 volts. The 400 volt 50 Hz94
