Relative to the neutral, each line reaches its peak 120 degrees from each of its neighbors. But, when you measure line-to-line, you get a normal, symmetrical sine wave of 208v, not 2 x 120v.If these two legs are on the secondary of a 3 phase source then aren't the phases 120deg apart? How are you saying that they are 180deg apart?
What you don't get is a lop-sided or offset wave with one side of the wave, one polarity, that is greater, wider, or 'longer' than the other. The weird voltage is the "anomoly", not the waveform.
