Is there anything in the NEC stating that you can not come out of an 120/240v 3phase 4 wire panel with highleg for a 120v branch circuit?

Why would you run a high leg to 120V circuit. You will burn it up. You could use it for a 240V cir.

The question is: Is there anything in the NEC stating that you can not come out of an 120/240v 3phase 4 wire panel with highleg for a 120v branch circuit? Not to come off the highleg phase, to come off of one of the other two 120v phases.

There is no code issue. It is done all the time. I have seen "split bus" type panels used on high leg panels, where only part of the panel is 3 phase and the rest of it is single phase 120/240.

Sorry I misunderstood. There is nothing in the NEC that prohibits this and as Don stated it is done often
