I need to ship a system to Germany and make sure that it complies with the power over there. I understand the 50/60 hz differences between the two countries but there seems to be some argument from our electrician about single phase line-line vs single phase line-neutral and devices not being compatible.
Is there a huge difference in power from here to there?
for example I'm supplying 208VAC 1ph from a split 480 3ph (line-neutral) in our factory now.
assuming that the machinery is rated for 50/60 hz at 200-230VAC 1ph wouldn't it work fine in Germany as well?
my electrician was arguing that you have a sinusoid on one line vs 2 sinusoids and that makes a difference.
Any advice?
