So why then are we saying that L2-G is 120V if L2 is the grounded conductor? Wouldn't they be at the same potential and therefore be 0V?
Effectively I am renaming the terminals as L1, L2 and Common/Ground. I no longer consider the 'center-tap' as a neutral point because I do not intend to have a 1PH 3W circuit, I have (2) 1PH 2W ones instead.
If you continue to call it a neutral point then it must be grounded, 250.26(2) and this discussion becomes moot.
Would I really do this with 120/240V - probably not, but the logic applies to other voltage voltages as well.
