[BC] AC Voltage Drop

[Gary Glaenzer]

In these parts, a 'leg' is an incoming WIRE

hence the term 'high leg' on a 240-120 'delta'

it takes two legs to power a 240-volt load here-abouts

a 'phase' here is two wires (legs)

This is standard terminology in the midwest (MO Rural Electric, Ralls county (MO) Rural
Electric, Amerin )

> 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,
