So my question is two-fold: 1a) Can I use the high leg of a delta 240V panel with a neutral to power a 208V single phase load without damaging it, and 1b) may I, i.e. does code permit it?
The load is a food warmer, so a simple resistive element. I’m assuming this is not permitted, since I’ve never seen it done, but I’m not sure where to look in the NEC.
That said, I also know a resistive load doesn’t see the difference between 208V between two lines and 208V between a line and a neutral.
