Depends on the size/number of units.

200 volts is the rated voltage of equipment intended to be used with a 208V supply. I have a couple of Rockwell machines with 200V 3Ø motors dating back to the early 1970's, both the shaper & 7" grinder were former school machines & they both run off a 240V 1Ø supply with VFD's.

The high leg of 240/120V delta is 208V.

There are some who say DP stands for "Don't Purchase", that DP contactor is not a listed product so it is unwise to use it for anything other than replacement on listed equipment.

Paint the conduit to blend in.

Home inspectors have the same value as a screen door on the hull of a submarine.

The Little Kickers have gotten rather expensive over the years, paid $189* for my 1/2",& $10 for a 3/4" at a yard sale that a electrical contractor was having up in Paradise, CA before the Camp Fire. *See that they are over $300 now. (n)
