Default Wiring 3 phase switch for 2 phase power

.. They're orthogonal to each other, so going around the diamond
clockwise, each adjacent set of wires has a voltage magnitude between them

which
is sqrt(2)/2 the pair voltage across each phase pair (polarities at any

given snapshot
instant swap as you move from quadrant to quadrant, of course).



Ah! That explains the 90 degrees, 90X4=360, but if that is the case why
wouldn't be 4 phase?


Well, hopefully he didn't fry himself.


Literally or figuratively....
