I think Danny now has a much better idea of how his electrical panel
works, and it's really just that part that matters. If he uses the
technically incorrect but easy to understand notion that power is
delivered by the L1 and L2 power cables that distribute power throughout
his house on red and black wires, and returns back to the panel on the
white wires, and that the L1 and L2 power sources are each 120 VAC
relative to the neutral, but 180 degrees out of phase so that there's
240 VAC between them, then he knows more than most homeowners and enough
not to electrocude himself, and that's what counts.

So I'm confused. Are my 240 volt appliances single phase or two phase?
