Not directly, you would need to transform 480v circuit to 120v with a transformer
first.

Are 120V and 208V the same?
no 208v is bigger
What size wire is needed for a 150 foot 350amp 208V 3phase circuit?
A 500 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 350 amps for 150 feet on a 208 volt system.
Can you run a 110v heater on 220v circuit?
No.It'll overload and fail just about immediately.It's possible - but not recommended - to run two 110 v heaters in series from a 220v circuit.
What rating is called for in a non fussed disconnect switch between a Automatic Transfer Switch with a 400amp breaker 120 208v system and a generator that outputs 120 208v 3ph capacity 100KW 125KVA?
400 amps
What is the difference in amps used by lighting wired 277v vs 208v?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Assuming you are using the same fixture, and assuming the fixture can operate on either voltage, you will get fewer amps with 208v than with 277v. However, a fixture designed for 208v will probably burn up on 277v, and a fixture designed for 277v will probably not produce any light on 208v.The two fixtures in reality are quite different. The 277v fixture is using one leg and neutral of a 277/480v 3 phase 4 wire system and the 208v fixture is using 2 legs of a 120/208v 3 phase 4 wire system.In commercial and industrial installations the 277v fixture is most common.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

Can a 3ph 208V 42 circut electrical panel that is recessed in the wall have a wood trim and a cabinet style door installed in addition to the panel cover door?
Yes as long as the removal of the distribution panel cover is not impeded by the cabinet door. The distribution panel cover must be able to be removed for an electrician to be able to work on the panel.
How do you measure amps on a 208V single phase circuit with a clamp on amp meter?
Clamp the meter around the energized conductor that is connected to the load to be measured and read the amperage off of the dial face of the meter.
If you are making your own device and you bring in 208 3 phase for part of your needs - how can you properly tap 110 single phase from it to operate other parts of your device?
Your incoming 208V 3 phase power supply will also need an incoming neutral of the same conductor size. Then any single pole breaker installed in the panel will have 110 volts to the neutral. That is you can run 208V 3 phase motor circuits from a three phase breakers in the panel and any number of 110V circuits from single pole breakers.
How do you wire a 208V motor with a 120V light bulb in the same circuit?
First off, I'm going to have to quore Robert here: (LIFE SAFETY WARNING! [disclaimer] Electricity is dangerous! You can be injured or killed! Improper installations can cause fire, injury and death! Should you be doing this yourself?) This is one of those questions - if you know this little, you shouldn't be doing what you are planning... No disrespect intended, but this is SO basic that it suggests you have not studied the subject at all! There are many good reference books and course books to study from. Unless you have 208V 3 phase power, you cannot make this work. You cannot power a 208V motor off a 120V supply. Since it is 208V, it is likely that it is a 3 phase motor. That means it has 3 hots. Check the specification plate on the motor, it should say how to wire it. With 208V 3 phase you should be able to get 120 from 1 hot phase to neutral. This means you need 5 feed wires (3 hots, a neutral, and ground) from your panel to your little light/motor contraption. Please buy a book and read up on this. It sounds like you don't know much about your system and ignorance is fatal (and not necessairly fatal to you) with electricity.

How do we know when to connect to 208v or 240v?
Its on the specifications of the device you will plug

Can a 250V machine run on 208V?
Well. Yes actually 208 is probably 220. Etc
