Oh Hell, that aint nothing!.
We have 220V, 3 phase receptacles just about every where in the plant
from the original system when it was 220 through out!. Now we use 480, 3
phase but never changed the receptacles! :)
We just love it when we have contractors bringing in their
220 devices and plugging it into 480 :)
You would think that we'd mark all of this!, well some of it is still
labeled here and there how ever, over the years the local habitat from
their house keeping etc, has painted over them or removed them.
The only ones that are still clearly marked are those that are still
220 volts in the 220 receptacles! .. Ha. what a way to go.
