I have a building with 2 voltages
System 1 (preferred) = 208/120 3 phase
System 2 (backup) = 360/208 3 phase
I have a load that does not care if it sees 208V 2 Pole or 208V 1 pole
I want to connect an ATS ( yes the ATS is rated for this use)
Line 1 of the ATS will be from System 1 at 208v 2 pole
Line 2 of the ATS will be from system 2 at 208v 1 pole
The issue is
The load wires from the ATS. What colors do I make the wires?
What receptacle configuration do I use?
The neutral is the issue
In source 1 we will have 2 hot wires and a ground
In source 2 we have a hot and a neutral and a ground
All is good till we hit the ATS (that IS rates for this application)
There is 3 wires out of the ups to the load.
If the wires are say black, red and green then it will be correct when we are on source 1 and wrong on source #2
If the wires are black, white and green then the reverse is true.
OCP is dealt with upstream.
is there a way around the requirements in section 200 of the NEC?
this is a supervised location.
