To pile on to Brian's question, is there guidance on how to indicate Delta or Wye connection types on a label (that are universally recognizable)? I think using "3W +PE" or "4W +PE" might not be descriptive in all cases, especially if your equipment connects to fewer than three phases of a three-phase distribution system...
