Can you wire 208v to a standard 20a outlet?

Of course it is physically possible. However, I strongly suggest you check with a qualified electrician who knows the particular electrical and building codes for your area as they can vary. Done incorrectly, you run the possibility of electrocuting yourself or someone else who uses that outlet, or setting your house on fire.

The dimensional standard for electrical connectors is ANSI/NEMA WD–6 and is available from the NEMA website. There are two basic classifications of NEMA device: straight-blade and locking. The straight-blade 5–15 and 5–20 are found nearly everywhere in countries using the NEMA standards, and are intended for supplying lighter-duty, general-purpose electrical devices.

Twist-locking types are used for heavy industrial and commercial equipment, where increased protection against accidental disconnection is required. Numbers prefixed by L are curved-blade, twist-locking connectors; others are straight blade and non-locking. The numeral preceding the hyphen in NEMA nomenclature indicates the configuration, that is, the number of poles, number of wires, voltage, and whether single- or three-phase.

The numeral following the hyphen is the rating of the device in amperes. The number is followed by the letter R to indicate a receptacle (female connector) or the letter P to indicate a plug (male connector). As an example, the 5–15R is the common 125 V two-pole, three-wire receptacle.

The L5–15R, while sharing the same electrical rating, is a locking design that is not physically compatible with the straight-blade 5–15 design. The 5–30 has the same two-pole, three-wire configuration and 125 V rating, but is rated 30 A. Although there are several non-grounding device types in the NEMA standards, only three of them are in widespread use today.

These are the two-pole 1-15, still in use in millions of buildings built before the 1960s, and the three-pole 10–30 and 10–50. The small hole near the end of the power (non-ground) blades of some NEMA plugs is used for convenience in manufacturing; if present it must be of specified diameter and position.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
