I use it all the time but in a non-standard
application. I do AC power fault simulation on
Telco equipment. Since the tranformers are standard
off the shelf units, I thought I would ask an engineer
friend.

Industrial induction motors use 1000 volt feed from a
delt transformer. It comes out 1000 line to line or
577 line to ground. 577 is effectively 600. Most
of your wiring and other devices are rated at 600vac.
