I get it. I'm also gently reminded/informed that a 240V circuit is Not
the equivalent of two 120v circuits.

But you do realize that the 240 in your home is made up of 2 out of
phase 120 circuits...

Yes, that's most-surely what led to my confusion about the way a 240v
circuit works...
So, a 240v circuit apparently doesn't have a direction....or rather, it
has 2 directions at the same time, from one leg to another, and vice-versa.

...half of your 120 volt circuits would be out of phase with the other half. And there are 120 direction changes (60 cycles) in one second.

I get it! Thanks! Am I the only one here who didn't know that?
