   J.B. Wood to All   
   120/208 VAC Service (follow-up)

   Hello, everyone, and my thanks to all who replied to my OP.  Although I   
   didn't peer inside the outlet box I suspect I encountered a 208 VAC   
   single-phase service consisting of two hots and a ground.  I further   
   discovered that a number of the higher kVA UPSs on the market are   
   designed to operate from 208 VAC single-phase and can often use 240 VAC   
   single-phase as an alternative.  (my only previous experience had been   
   with hefty AC-DC power supplies that required 120/208 or 277/480 VAC   
   3-phase on the input side)  Sincerely,   
   --
