I been commissioned to do this project. I have a 480v in a nearby panel and I need to get 24vdc from it to power some 24v input modules. I am not an idiot and know I cannot hook to it directly. I read up on Omen's law and voltage drops. Can I just take a couple of strands off 2 of the legs and get my 24. My math worked out fine according to this Omen's law.

Omen (and his laws) doesn't say that you can get 24 volts DC from an AC power feed without some rectification, etc. You should get a 24VDC power supply and you'll likely need a 480 VAC to 120 VAC transformer to provide power to the P.S.

Omen's laws were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme's Court in the famous "Fisherman's Decision" (Rowboats vs Waders).

This one went over much better last year, it went on quite a while and cause a big fuss before anyone caught on.

Nice try though. :site:
