I will post the B/B diagram and I will fill you in a second after I post it. something did came up in my mind so better get this straighten out before something go heck ( WTFreak )






If you look at diagram C et D the C you will kick up 16 volts while diagram D will kick up 32 volts however there one thing John did hit the nail on one phase ( L2 ) the 120 volt will NOT affect but the other leg it will affect so I will have to post the revised rating so it will be anywhere from 136 to 156 volts from L1 to Netural.

So that can raise a new issue if you do plan to use the B/B avce 120 volt loads so pay attetion to it.

I did ran a little experment real quick and did see a minor blunder so better get this taken care of it right away before someone else get arse bitted from this one.

Merci,
Marc

If you can get 12/24 verison you should be little safer but use the judgement call after you do the system check first to see how much it drop.

An application engineer at Jefferson Transformer said "around 140V"
So it appears that French Electrician is looking at it the right way.

I just may hit the right spot there however before you make final connection you may want to double check with your voltmeter to verify the voltage on each " phase " and may have to shift any 120 volts on correct one.

Also it will be wise idea to put a warning sign that it have B/B so they will know the line to netural voltage will not be correct if they did tapped in wrong spot.

Merci,
Marc
