That's exactly my point. For example, in my house, I have two phases.
Each one, to neutral, gets me 120 volts.
If I use both phases, I get 220.
The equipment might be "single phase 220", but I need two phases out of
the electric panel to get it.
Sorry, I may not have explained myself well enough ;)

Absolutely INCORRECT. The drives see (and the power
cord only provides) ONE phase.
208 is essentially a single phase voltage you get by connecting two of your three phase
legs.
240 V on 120/240 is only single phase.

There are some of the old washing machine
harddisks that were designed to run on 208/240 (still single phase).
Yup, exactly.
Still takes "two phases" to make 208/240 in the US.
