``There is no such voltage as 460 Single Phase. 460 volts is Three Phase''

In my neck of the woods there is no such thing as 460 volts. PPL
Electric states the power they deliver is 120, 208, 240 or 480 volts
all +/- 5%

I think this was covered before, 460 like 110, 115 and 117 are all
carry-over's from years gone by.

Like Roger said I don't think you can get the power company to supply
you with 460 (480) single phase, it would be part of a 3 phase
service. Or does someone know this to be false? You can get single
phase equipment in 277 and 460/480 volt.

So it does depend on your point of view.

Not a matter of perspective, we're talking electrical requirements of a
device, not an electric service from a utility. While 460V (480V)
electric service from a utility may normally be provided in a three
phase service, numerous devices require 460V (480V) single phase power.
A person who does not understand that should not be bidding on 460V
(480V) devices.
