EASports- Be careful-
This is partly true. With a high leg delta system you have 240V between any two phases, so you could use the high leg and one other to run a 240V single phase appliance.
You need to look at 240.85, especially the latter part of the text. Unless that breaker you are referring to has a straight 240v. rating, you would not be able to use it on a single phase 240v. circuit using the high leg. Some breakers have a slash rating- 120/240 and they could not be used on the high leg of a 3Ø 240/120v panel if they are accross the high leg. Common violation.
