Default 280V motor on 230V circuit

Is this the system where the voltage is 133 volts relative to ground and 230
volts between phases (and formerly 127 volts relative to ground and 220 volts
between phases)?

If they still use that system, then I'm interested in buying a UPS designed
for that. But it is my understanding it is phased out in cities and hard to
find anymore in rural locations.
