I'm currently looking at a new application and found out the customer has no neutral but has a three phase 208v supply, Is there any possibility or any suggestion of how I can get a Neutral?

1\$\begingroup\$ why do you need neutral? What load you want to connect on it? Industrial things have usually no neutral, the control voltage is get with a transformer, but this is small power. \$\endgroup\$– Marko BuršičCommented Oct 21, 2015 at 8:26

You can add a transformer - it will have a delta connection on the non-neutral primary side and a star (wye) connection on the secondary side.
Such things are common in control panels on continental European kit.
Here's a European transformer which is the kind of thing I mean:

\$\begingroup\$ Ok Great I can look into this, Would the secondary side still be 208v Three Phase just with a neutral? \$\endgroup\$– J.WCommented Oct 21, 2015 at 7:46

\$\begingroup\$ In principle you could have what you wanted, if you can find a transformer which does it. In general people turn the 3ph supply back into the 1ph supply that's common in the same locality. So I guess that would be 208V line-line and 120V line-neutral (1ph) for you. \$\endgroup\$– user1844Commented Oct 21, 2015 at 7:56

\$\begingroup\$ Yes that's true, Think the single phase supply would be a better option for me as 120v is all i need to run my components. Thanks for the assistants. \$\endgroup\$– J.WCommented Oct 21, 2015 at 11:04
