Thank You....

I hope the city will not give me any problem.
The city told me that you can not go from a 208/120V 3-phase system to a 240/120V 1- phase system without a transformer.

You can go from 208Y/120 3Ph4W to a 120/208 1Ph3W network without a transformer.

You must have a transformer to go from 208V L-L to 120/240V 1Ph3W.

You must have a transformer to go from 208V L-L to 120/240V 1Ph3W. nyc or jersey areas not allow 3phase To 3phase because unbalance loads




Edit UBB code

Exactly how does a transformer change that? You still have a single phase load on a 3 phase system and the loads will not be balanced across all three phases.



Edit, fix UBB code

Marc,

Marc,

This
http://ets.freetranslation.com/
gives me
"This is the same rules as the multi the circuit of branch of wire is. on the on provision of three phases"
and you say
[ it is the same rules as multi wire branch circuit is. on the three phase supply ]
And I must say,
Ich wei? nicht

that one thing you have to understand if you used the translators they not always able correct the grammer i know few translators don't always catch the error on that one.

Merci,Marc

Don,

If you have 208V and you need/want 240V, how do you get it without a transfromer?

What does balancing have to do with this?
 
Jim,
I misread the post that I quoted. I was really only asking about the last part of the statement ...the balancing part. I skipped over the voltage change.
