Errr.... 220V comes in single phase and three phase flavors. While I
believe 2 phase power does exist, it's somewhat esoteric-- I've never even
*heard* of one, let along seen one.

208V 3 phase is 110 between any one phase and the neutral. It is *not* 220V
between any two hot wires, but if the PS is merely dividing the two hot legs
into two seperate 110V circuits it should work fine.

Note that three-phase power is not very common in residential installations.
