Same thing




No, it's not. It's one phase.




Hi,


It's called bi-phase. aka Edison circuit.




Wrong. It's called "split-phase". ...because that's *exactly* what

it is. Two-phase is something entirely different (and quite rare).


180 degrees out of phase and opposite are the same thing.


No it's not. I thought you were an engineer.

Look at it on an oscilloscope. What the exact method of
generating it is doesn't matter. If you have 3 wires entering
a box, the relationship between them is what it is, regardless
of how it's generated or what you call it.


Wrong. But you're good at that.
