Can 230VAC single phase supply be used on a circuit that demands 208VAC single phase?
A unit of electrical equipment is designed for operation at a certain voltage - or within a certain range of voltages - i.e for 5 volts, 12 volts, 120 volts. 220 to 240 volts. Originally the UK household alternating current supply voltage was specified at 240 volts or, more precisely, 240 volts RMS +/-6%, running at a frequency of 50Hz.
Some time ago, to allow harmonisation across Europe, the specifications were changed to 230 volts RMS +10%/-6%, also running at a frequency of 50Hz.
Thus the mains supply voltage will remain within European Union norms (standards) even if it varies between an upper limit of 253 volts and a lower limit of 216.2 volts. So, because 208 volts is lower than the minimum range of a standard 230 volt 50 Hz supply, it is not safe to assume that any equipment which has a rating plate saying that it should be powered from a 208 volts ac supply can be used on a 230V ac supply without causing any damage. Such damage might affect the equipment itself or its surroundings or its "human" users... If the Asker could use the discussion page - by clicking the Open Discussion button shown below this answer - to tell us exactly what the circuit is, which "demands 208VAC single phase", that information would be interesting to know. Then, maybe, a much more helpful answer could then be given here!

Why is a dual line braking circuit better single line system?
If fluid is lost due to component failure, you will get total brake failure (loss of all braking except parking/emergency brake) on a single circuit system. A dual circuit system will only fail in one circuit, leaving the remaining circuit working. It is therefore safer.
Single phase and three phase circuit?
Yes, there is a difference between single phase and three phase circuits.

Circuit for single tuned amplifier?
A single tuned amplifier basically consists of a tuned circuit (which may consist of an IFT or a parallel tuned LC circuit) connected to the collector of an amplifier circuit (in Common Emitter configuration). The tuned circuit is designed to get a resonant frequency equal to the incoming frequency signal that arrives at the base. The Single Tuned Amplifier gives maximum amplification to that particular incoming frequency which matches the resonant frequency of the tuned circuit and attenuates all other frequencies. Thus it gives sharp selectivity with a high Q-factor.
