Everything you said about the "single phase" center tap made perfect sense.



People keep saying the neutral wires is normally bare, but, I must

Maybe that's odd, for the USA though, 'cuz everyone is saying that

the neutral is normally bare.

The "neutral" is NEVER bare in North America (except in some parts

of rural Sakatchewan Canada, where single wire earth return IS

actually still in limited use)


Oh my lying eyes. I must be hallucinating when I see all those
bare service neutrals run to houses. Or all those base primary
neutrals I see on poles going down the road.....
