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.

How many wires do you need for a 208 v circuit?

208 v is a three-phase supply voltage used in North America, carried on a 4-wire system. The voltage between one of the three live wires and the neutral wire is 120 v and a single-phase supply can be taken by using one live and the neutral. If in doubt about the connection consult an electrician.
