So a venue I'm going to be running a tour through has confused me quite a bit. Correct me where I'm wrong but, typical 3 phase power has 208 volts hot to hot (except the high leg) and single phase would have 240v. so when looking at the disconnect in the venue I assumed it was single phase based on the lack of a third phase line in the box. (H-H-N-G connections)
i did some multimeter tests N-H was 120v but as I said the H-H was 208v not 240 v so it seems the contracting electrician left the high leg out. how would I go about connecting a distro to this as I have 208v moving lights to power and normally I would rent 3 phase distros at 208v, but this is neither single or 3 phase kinda half half from what I can understand. (by how would "I" i mean the electritian that comes in to tie in power i just rent and handle the equipment)
