Overview

 

Single-Phase Three-Wire 

This is seen in residential and commercial service with 240 VAC for large appliances. The three wires are 
neutral and two line voltage wires with AC waveforms 180° out of phase. This results in 120 VAC 
between either line wire and neutral, and 240 VAC (or sometimes 208 VAC) between the two line wires. 
Any unused CT inputs must be shorted with an insulated jumper wire. Single-phase three-wire circuits 
should be measured with models WNA-1P-240-P or WNA-3Y-208-P.
