[RE-wrenches] 208V residential service

[Jerry Shafer]

Hey team 208 volts,
 Hawaii does this all the time usually in multi level walk ups,  and this
will result in low output from your range, water heater and dryer. It's a
cheap and easy solution for packem in and stackum up housing.
Remember 208 volts can be L to L, it can also be L to N and its the same
volts but not interchangeable or transferable. Years ago SMA made a box to
make the 208 to N work on the early 6000U's, it did work then later on they
got FW and HW internally to work.
Fun times
