    The most common three-phase system will have three hot legs, 208 V to each other and 120 V each to the neutral. An older, but still widely used, high-leg delta system uses three phases with 240 volts phase-to-phase for motor loads, and 120 volts for lighting loads by use of a center-tapped transformer; two of the phases are 120 volts to neutral ...

  3. Mains electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity

    As in the UK, 240 V is within the allowable limits and "240 volt" is a synonym for mains in Australian and British English. In the United States [13] [14] and Canada, [15] national standards specify that the nominal voltage at the source should be 120 V and allow a range of 114 V to 126 V (−5% to +5%). Historically, 110 V, 115 V and 117 V ...

    For example, in North America, a unique split-phase system is used to supply to most premises that works by center tapping a 240 volt transformer. This system is able to concurrently provide 240 volts and 120 volts. Consequently, this allows homeowners to wire up both 240 V and 120 V circuits as they wish (as regulated by local building codes).

  6. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

    The phase shift in Europe is 120°, as is the case with three-phase current. That is why we calculate 130 V × √ 3 = 225 V. A three-phase final step-down transformer is then used. One house gets phases A and B, the next house gets phase B and C, the third house gets phase A and C.
