Great, you're the latest person to invent a way to present a 5-15R that
offers something besides 120VAC. This is neither new nor novel, but it
*is* dangerous and risky, and in no way "solves the problem."
No, this does NOT present 208v at a 5-15R. Don't believe me, buy one
and put a voltmeter across it.
I'll leave the FUD to others.
Here's the L-G voltage off the 208v taps from an isolation transformer
in a system with no neutral: http://ninjamonkey.us/not_120_volts.jpg
In other words, in a system with no neutral, it's not designed to do
120v loads. The L-L voltage on that same PDU is 211. Also, the device
you linked will present high voltage because again, no neutral.
