[Amps] Question about ampifiers

[Gary Schafer]

If you have a standard delta connection then you will only have one 
voltage available. Without other transformers of course.

With a 3 phase wye connection (which I assumed that it is if you have 
two voltages available) you will not have 220 volts and 120 volts at the 
same time. Unless of course there are other transformers involved.

But from a simple wye connected 3 phase line the relationship between 
one leg and two legs is 1.732.
So if you have 220 volts across two legs, then across one leg you will 
have 127 volts.  If you have 120 volts on one leg then across two you 
will have 208 volts.
