Step Down 240V to 208V

You have two hot legs and one high leg (Power leg, wild leg, or stinger). And one neutral. I prefer power leg. If I were to change out your service, the first thing I would do is check rotation at the service entrance with a phase sequence indicator and write it in the panel. Marking the position of the hot legs with an H and the power leg with a P and a CW for clock wise or a CCW for counter-clock wise. Also the date and my initials. I would check it again after I changed out the service, before I told the customer he could close his main.

If you have an Open Delta bank, you have true 3 phase. This connection is relatively inefficient where three-phase loads predominate since it has only 86.6% of the rating of the two units making up the three-phase bank. It also has only 57.7% of the three-phase rating of a closed delta bank of three units.

How do you center ground a delta?

I do not consider my Open Delta a true 3ph, as only the wild leg is

Thank You, Randy

Hi Group,

Thanks for all the informed replies to my question. I contacted Blodgett, the oven manufacturer and they said that replacing the heating elements would be the way to go.

I did learn an lot about delta and wye 3 phase from your replies!
