   Hello, and I did measure the L1-L2 voltage with a VOM and it indicated   
   207.8 VAC.  The L1-N and L2-N measured 119.7 VAC.  The remaining slot on   
   the twist-lock receptacle doesn't appear to be connected to anything.   
   I'm also assuming the slot I identified as neutral (N) isn't a ground   
   wire since for that case the receptacle would be intended as only a 208   
   VAC single-phase outlet.  Sincerely,
