Single-Phase Three-Wire (Mid-Point Neutral)
This configuration is seen in North American residential and commercial service with 240 Vac for
large appliances. The three conductors are a mid-point neutral and two line voltage wires with AC
waveforms 180° out of phase; this results in 120 Vac between either line conductors (phase) and
neutral, and 240 Vac between the two line conductors (phases). It is important that you connect
N
(neutral) for accurate measurements.

Recommended WattNode Models
The following table shows the WattNode models that can be used. If neutral may or may not be
present, you should use the WNB-3D-240-P (see
Single-Phase Two-Wire without Neutral
below). If phase B may not be present, you should use the WNB-3Y-208-P (see
above).
