Wires + Ground wire)240V Three Phase, 4 Wires (Three out of phase Hot wires (one is High Leg delta) + Ground wire)To get all these values, you may use the following simple math calculations (Phase, Lines and Hot represents the same thing).Voltage between Phase and Neutral = 1/2 × 240V = 120V (1-Φ).Voltage between High leg and Neutral = 1/2 × 120V × √3 = 208V (1-Φ).Voltage between two Hot Phases = 120V × 2 = 240V (1-Φ).Voltage between three Phases = 240V (3-Φ).These are the general setup and may vary and depend on the installation e.g. neutral wire may be needed for three phase 240V outlets etc. You may know more about the comparison and differences between Star-Delta (Wye-Delta) connection with advantages and disadvantages.Related Post: How to Wire 277V & 480V, 1-Phase & 3-Phase, Commercial Main Service Panel?High leg delta configuration can also be used for 240, 415 & 480V supply systems. Additional configurations such as high leg open delta with two transformers, delta with no neutral, delta with no ground or grounded delta are also used but we will stick to the Star (Wye) and Delta connection based on panel wiring needed in our case.The three phase system including single phase power from the secondary of the distribution transformer through insulated wires enters the meter box and safety switch and finally enters in the main panel box. Each line or hot wire connects to a separate bus-bar in the panel box for further distribution. Keep in mind that
