New to the site. And fairly new to the work. Need some help. This may be a dumb question but can you install a single phase 240 v circuit in a 3 phase 120/208 panel? Thank I’m advance.

Welcome aboard.
Yes it's just 2 of the 3 phases and it's also 208 volt, check what you're hooking up because your amperage will be higher at the lower voltage.

If you need 240V then in a 3 phase 208V panel you will only get 208V. Depending on what the equipment is and what it needs will determine whether 208V is okay. For instance, if you have electric heat that is rated 5000 Watts at 240v then at 208v you will only be getting 3750 Watts. Some 240V motors may have an issue at 208v and it may cause them to not function as it should.

That reminds me of more unfinished projects. We had a 240 3 phase delta panel at work that fed a small 120v transformer for the furnace. We swapped the panel over to 208y a couple years ago and now the furnace only gets about 100v. Seems to be running OK but I've been meaning to pull a 120v feed to it.

How are you getting 240 though? Phase to phase is only 208.
You aren't getting 240v, you are getting 208V.

What did you try? I was searching for this https://studyclerk.com/write-my-lab-report / website on Google search because I am looking for someone who can write my lab report and when I was searching for it online, I also found your post and I also want to know whether can I install a single phase 240 v circuit in a 3 phase 120/208 panel or not.
