[RE-wrenches] Fronius Symo 10.0-3 208V 3 phase WYE without neutral

[James Jarvis]

Answering the question, for the archives:

Google "AI" found me a phone number 219-734-5500 which got me to a live
Fronius tech support person in well less than a minute. This number doesn't
appear to be on their website. Tech support definitively answered that no
neutral is required and that is perfectly fine to configure the inverter
for "delta" when connected to wye without a neutral present. She said there
is no downside to it. She did say that a neutral is required for the 480
volt Symo inverters.

Electrically this all is as I expected. This saves well over a thousand
dollars of conduit and conductor.
