Do I need a special Transformer to put 240 VAC 3 phase into it and and get 480

Do I need a special Transformer to put 240 VAC 3 phase into
it and and get 480 VAC 3 phase out of it to run a machine?
Or, do I just use an ordinary step down transformer and step
up the voltage? Thanks

why do motors burn out? I understand why adding parallel loads to a power source means more current moves through the circuit, and can destroy circuit elements by overheating. What about when you have a vaccuum cleaner intake flush against a floor, a room fan sitting directly against a wall, or a power drill trying to drill through something too hard?

need to make a report. Need to choose a 3phase induction motor. Load conditions motor will operate in : Maximum Load: 30 Kw Speed: 2950 rpm Ambient temp: 20 cent Supply voltage: 440V Frequency: 50Hz need to look for the safety factor when choosing the motor, went through catalouge found a few, but dont know how to choose the safety factor allowing an extra load something above 30 KW to avoid any harm.
