208V Question

[marcchauvin]

We recently stumbled across a 208V single phase disconnect in our warehouse which is in the ideal location where we need to put some 120V service. Currently it comes into a disconnect, and consists of just the 2 lives and a neutral, with the disconnect being the ground. How can we safel make the transition to 2 120V circuits - I'm assuming I'll have to share a neutral, but should I be worried about not having a 4-wire service?
