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.

"phase" has a meaning. There's still 2 of them. "split-phase" sounds
right too.

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


I think I've heard about that. Are the phases 90 degrees apart?

The fact that there is this different 2 phase system doesn't prevent the
usual one from being 2 phase. That's be like saying you don't have 2
colors of holiday lights if they're just red and green.
