Maybe I'm getting cranky in my old age but I have this pet peeve about people refering to 120/240 3 phase. If we look in IEEE dictionary we will find that the proper identification of voltage systems would be to label them with the higher voltage first and the lower voltage second if is a multi voltage 3 phase system. 240/120 3 phase is proper for a 3 phase system. 120/240 single phase would be proper for a multi voltage single phase system. Engineers foul this up constantly. I know the correct way of labeling it and I'm just a lowly electrical inspector. [Linked Image]
