208 v is a three-phase supply voltage used in North America, carried on a 4-wire system. The voltage between one of the three live wires and the neutral wire is 120 v and a single-phase supply can be taken by using one live and the neutral. If in doubt about the connection consult an electrician.

As with any circuit, two wires are required. A 208 volt circuit will require a two pole breaker and be sized to accommodate the required load amperage. 208 volts is the line to line voltage from a three phase four wire, 208/120 voltage system.
