I know it seems counterintuitive, we generally think of higher voltage means lower current but this is one case (purely resistive loads) where that isn’t true. In an inductive circuit like a motor circuit the higher the voltage the lower the current being that they’re inversely proportional. For a resistive load the opposite is true since they’re directly proportional.
Absolutely, I’ve spent the majority of my electrical career in industrial maintenance mostly working on 3 phase pump and mixer motors. Thanks for reminding me of the rules. Thanks.
Good info. I would also add that the above info is for units that are not multi-voltage rating/tapped.
I agree with multi-tapped but multi-rated units can operate on different voltages just with different outputs. It’s not uncommon to see electric appliances that are dual rated for 208 or 240 volt systems just with a lower output on the lower voltage.
