No such thing as 220v or 230v, only 240v; which some people insist on
calling almost anything. However, you are thinking of 208v, which is

two
legs of three phase; but since you don't have 3 phase, it really

doesn't
matter.

What voltage is 208 using two out of three legs of ? It is usually a 208
three phase system. YOu take two legs off that and get the nominal 110
volts.


Wrong. 208V 3ph is 208V phase-to-phase and 120V phase-to-neutral.


You are correct. I was thinking of the phase to neutral and did the phase
to phase mistake.
I have been working too much with the 3 phase 480 stuff at work to be
thinking of the 3 phase 208 circuits . We have some of them but not very
many.
