Can you get 120v single phase by picking off one line of 240v 3

as long as you have a neutral to carry the current back to the box?

Not quite. The voltage won't be right for pure three phase. I
think that with Wye connections, you will have something closer to
104V.

Typo? Should be about 140 volts from line to neutral with 240 wye
(calculates to 138.6 or so)

Nope -- trying to remember which way the voltage was off, and
getting it wrong. :-)

208 wye gives 120 line to neutral...

Thanks,
