Here is one, even 30 years of experience can't explain. Oh yeah, and it cost me my job. 208v 3 phase, the one with the wild-leg.
Question #1: The utility wanted the wild-leg to be on "B" phase. The city inspector wanted it to be on "C" phase. I made the switch between the meter socket and main breaker, was this wrong and if so how should it be done?
Question #2 Voltage readings from phase to phase was 238v. (A-B, B-C, A-C) The customer complained that his 240v range top was getting too hot. If the voltage is the same, and range elements have not changed their resistance, how can this be possible? After all there's Ohm's Law right?
