How to wire 3-phase outlets and surge protection

3 phase outlets and plugs have locking blades
3-phase terminals are marked X-Y-Z-G or X-Y-Z-
W-G
Hot Hot Hot Neutral Ground
If device is marked X Y N G, then it is considered single phase
even though it has 4 wiring terminals

277 480 Three Phase WYE

480 volts across line-to-line
277 volts line-to-neutral

All Wye connections provide

two voltages due to the common
point or neutral connection.

Line-to-line voltage = 480V

Line-to-neutral voltage = 277V
277 Volt x √3 = 479.778 Volt

√3 = 1.7320
