   It should be 208 if 120 line to neutral as you indicate. Are you sure that   
   this is not a 240V delta with one side center tapped for 120/240V. If so you   
   have effectively a 5KW generator. Can you give more information regarding   
   the actual connections?   
   As for your single phase pump motor- there should be no problems.
