Your best bet is to call a licensed electrician.
When do know you've taken on a job that you're not qualified for?.....
When you ask a question like the one you've just asked. If you truly understood what 480 volts and "3 hot wires" were, you would have answered your own question.

480 volt 3 phase Delta? Need a transformer delta primary Wye secondary with Neutral. More important, you need a licensed electrician. No ground? no legal, mistah
you need the neutral for 277 volt lighting?

What box???? Cardboard? Tissue? Tampon? Gift? Shoe? Lock? Safety deposit?
Well, I'm neutral but tend to stay grounded.
What kind of panel? Plywood? Knotty pine? If the wires are hot you better cool them off before your "wife" finds out.
or a firetruck....
