I worked for many years in a plant with 240 volt three phase systems. In one building we had an old 240 volt delta system, with no mid-point tap for 120 volt. We used step down single phase transformers to create 120 volts. Essentially they were 1:1 transformers, with a center tap on the secondary for 120 volts, single phase. The other building had a "Red-leg delta" system, which was a 240 volt, 4 wire, three phase delta system where the center point of one phase was tapped to provide 240/120 volt single phase power. These are not uncommon systems in industry where 120 volt loads are low compared to three phase loads. The 208/120 three phase wye systems are usually used in applications where 120 volt loads are relatively higher, although we used that system in on are with a high concentration of Japanese machines which were 200 volt three phase. The 208/120 system kept the three phase voltage within 10% of nominal for those machines and avoided step down transformers. It was also within 10% of our American 240 volt three phase machine, so it worked well for us. Just a thought.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
