Also my dad's buddy was trimming a house and this finish carpenter, younger dude with a big boom box, straight blasting death metal. Dad's friend asks him if he could turn down the tunes. Carpenter stares, no words, cranks it up to 11. Alright, thats how this is going to go. Dad's friend goes to the panel and takes the neutral off the temp plug circuit and lands it on the second phase. Instant 240v to carpenters boom box. Hahaha said the radio was literally smoking 🚬 buttrocker finds him and asks, "What happened!?!" Dad's friend said he shrugged his shoulders "Don't Know". Haha classic.

At the old workplace, the data centers were wired off 3 phase feeds, so across two of the phases was about 208 volts. Most modern stuff runs fine on this, anything from 120 - 240 will run it. But old stuff, no. A coworker blew up two old terminals that ran only on 120 before he figured out where he went wrong.
Hey look, we're still on page 962.
