why is 2 phase - 240 volt - called single phase???
I guess because single-phase is not 2-phase, for one. Two-phase is an old system that bears little resemblance to single phase.grantcool said:why is 2 phase - 240 volt - called single phase???

I like this.Psychojohn said:Because the zero crossing point is at the same point in time.
And each leg is in phase with the other, just equal and oposite voltage.

Yeah, but how many meanings does "syllogistic" have? I had to go look that one up. :grin:glene77is said:...In syllogistic logic, we call it a "Fallacy of Four Terms"
