I posted a question in a manner that was apparantly missunderstood due to my poor wording so let me try it again.
Lets say you have a 120v baseboard heater the current flows from hot thru the element and then thru the neutral as its path. But a 240v baseboard heater (no neutral). A differing phase hooked to each side of the element. My problem to explain is how the current flows phase to phase with no neutral and why that does not cause overcurrent.
Perhaps someone has some good reference material or a good explanation, I unfortunately know it works but not why.
Thanks
Dave
