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.


What is the approximate power consumed by a 10 kw heat strip rated 230 V when connected to a 208V circuit?

To calculate the approximate power consumed by a 10 kW heat strip rated at 230 V when connected to a 208 V circuit, we can use the formula for power: ( P = V^2 / R ). Since the heat strip is designed for 230 V, its resistance ( R ) can be calculated as ( R = V^2 / P = (230^2) / 10000 = 5.29 , \Omega ). When connected to 208 V, the power consumed will be ( P = 208^2 / 5.29 \approx 8.04 , kW ). Thus, the heat strip will consume approximately 8.04 kW when connected to a 208 V circuit.
