[GreenKeys] Australian Power cords.

[Sheldon Daitch]

 Ken,
in the three phase house I last lived in, outside the United States, is was 240VAC phase toneutral and 415VAC phase to phase.

We had to use transformers for any 120VAC loads in the house.

measured from each pin to ground what would the 
reading be?  If at the mid point can you pull any 
current from one pin to ground?
