Hi,
I am designing power distribution for a restaurant. The incoming service is 120/240V, 3PH, 4W with high leg.
I was told I can not use phase B for 120V loads.
(1) What if some of my equipment is rated for 208V? Do I need a transformer for each load to boost voltage to 240V?
(2) how about 208V or 240V, single phase loads? Do I use A-B, B-C, C-A with no problem?
(3) How about 208V or 240V, 3 phase loads? Can I use A-B-C, B-C-A, C-A-B with no problem?
(4) Do I use only A or C when circuiting 120V loads?
I read some posts, but got a little complicated for me since I don't have much experience. At this point, I want to learn how to populate my panel schedule.
Can anyone help please?
