Hello,
I'm currently deployed at a US base in SouthWest Asia. I don't have enough electrical experience to list the problems with the following installations, but hopefully I can get some enlighting feedback...thanks in advance.
1) Installed breakers and panels are rated for 240/415. Incoming power is 120/208. Will the advesely affect the breaker performance?
2) Bristish Standard plugs (BS 1365) use one leg @ 220V, a neutral and a ground. Installation is American 220v with two legs @ 208V (ph to ph) and a ground. This was a result of poor specifications in the contract and poor workmanship. Question: will this normally affect the load (bathroom appliances) not to work or will this typically burn up their motors if they call for 220-240v on one leg and a neutral on the other?
