So a bit of a weird one that I feel like I know the answer to but find specific justification with current googleage.
Ignoring frequency for this discussion, is there any different between "European" 240v power where the voltage is 240v line-neutral and "US" 240V power where that voltage exists phase-phase? Can you use connectors normally designed for a line+neutral (ie powercon) for phase-phase operation and feel safe on an NEC/LEGAL grounds? My gut (and experience with every rental house everywhere) says yes, but I can't find anything saying this is actually true. In both cases you have two current carrying conductors, but neutral is always treated a bit special even when a current carrying conductor..
