Can you run a 208 volt single-phase computer off 240 volt power?

No. The 1-phase 240 setting on your computer's power supply is for the 240V wall outlets in other countries. The 240 outlets in your home are 2-phase 240.

The power cable assembly connects to a power source?
208 volt, three phase
Does a 208 volt outlet need a neutral?
No a 208 volt outlet does not need a neutral. 208 volts is the line voltage between any two legs of a three phase 208 volt system.
Can you use 220 Volt 3 Phase as 208 Volt 3 Phase?
Yes by using a 3-phase transformer. The size depends on how much power has to be converted.
Why won't a 230-460 volt motor work on a 120-208 volt circuit?
Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
What happens when 240 volt equipment is plugged into a 208 volt source?
It should be ok
Can you operate a 208 volt on 110 volt?
The United States is one of the only places in the world that uses 110 volts instead 220 volts. In order to operate 208 volts on a 110 volt electrical current, you will need a voltage converter.
Normal voltage house in the US?
The vast majority of homes are supplied with 120/240 volt or 110/208 volt.
How do you convert 208 volt amps to 480 volt amps?
Add another leg of 120 to a three pole breaker.
Can you run a 240 volt single phase hot water tank on a three phase 208-120 system?
Yes if it is connected across the lines it will receive 208 volts, which is obviously less than 240 v and the power output would be only three quarters of the rated power.
Can a 208 volt hot water heater be used with 110 volt with a 20 amp fuse?
Yes, but by using 120 volts on the 208 volt element you will only be able to obtain 1/4 of the rated wattage from the element not 1/2 like it seems you should.
What is a 208 circuit?
The 208 volt configuration is one phase of a three phase source at 240 volts, where the 208 volt circuit is connected between the center tap of one 240 volt phase (usually a grounded neutral, in the style of a standard 120/240 split phase system) and the high delta connection on either of the other two phases. 208 circuit would consist of two phases of a 208 volt wye system or could be all three phases. The voltage between conductors would be 208 volts. The voltage to ground from any phase would be 120 volts. A 240 volt delta system would give you a high leg to ground, somewhere around 190 volts and the other two would be 120 volts to ground.
Can a 220 volt 3 phase motor be connected to a 208 3phase curcit?
Yes.
