Typically found in commercial buildings requiring lots of 120 volt distribution. <BR/>The nice thing about it is that there is only one neutral with three hot legs available (A, B or C). The 240/120 distribution takes three separate neutrals. <BR/><BR/>There is some loss of performance on three phase motors operating on 208 volts as opposed to 240 volts. About 10% as I recall. Also they can not operate in as severe a brownout condition with only 208 nominal available. <BR/><BR/>BTW, the L-N voltage on a 208 volt system is 120 volts, not 110. <BR/><BR/>RichardDrivingMissLazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011569963353876450noreply@blogger.com
