[BC] AC Voltage Drop

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

No. You put it across one incoming leg, which in industry parlance means "circuit," which for three-phase with no neutral, means one phase. A leg is not a wire, it is a complete circuit. For instance, a box that has 240/120 input contains two legs because they can form two 120 volt circuits, while a box that contains only 240 volts, contains only one leg although it contains two wires plus a protective ground.

>  However, you need to use a transformer to generate 120/240, which puts your entire LV
panel on one incoming leg.

Actually, on TWO legs, but who's counting ?
