This is a post from another forum. Has anyone seen this type of service the writer descibes? He is stating that on a 3 phase service he reads 208V to ground on 1 leg and 120V to ground on the other 2 legs, and 208V between any 2 legs. Read for yourself. " one leg reads 208 to neutral, the other two reads 118 to 120 to neutral as well as ground, one of the city electricans told me that along time ago when this was put in they wired it some sort of delta something, the stinger leg was wired to one of the sides of the delta not the corner, it was done because of something with the transformer made then, between the hot leg and any other leg reads 208, and the two 120 circuits reads 208 between them,
city hall downtown has major power problems during peak load it can drop below 160 volts on line readings,
the new city hall lost all four compressors on their recip cillers, seems york supplied an discounted unit left over from soem other job, but it was 230 volts only, and when the machine started seeing 16 volts they didnt last,
however part of that was the city's fault as they slashed the budget and cut out controls, left out chill water bypass valve, and other controlss dur to budget restrains, this came back to haunt them, badly,"
