"There are two wires running out of the transformer and three wires

running to the house. The two from the transformer are insulated, and

the third one is bare. The bare wire is the ground wire. The two insulated

wires each carry 120 volts, but they are 180 degrees out of phase so the

difference between them is 240 volts."



Why are all three of mine insulated?

Insulated or not has no bearing on how it all works it is only where

the ends are connected that affects the outcome.



Please go to school and learn the basic principles of electricity :-@

He has a legitimate question. It's not clear to me why sometimes the
neutral service wire is insulated, like he has. I know it's also many
times uninsulated as well.
