Great info, very helpful.

I've never been in the situation to need to consider this as an option.
Always been in industrial environments where 3 phase 480v is normal and every job spec'ed out to precise detail.




I am an industrial electrician myself. A couple or our remotes sights only have single phase. I've been forced to go this route after our engineers just assume everyplace has 480.
