I do have a couple of sockets wired so each outlet of the double outlet
are connected to each side of a 240 volt line. The reason is it is next
to a 240 volt socket that feeds that 120 volt one. I did that for my
ham radio station so I can run an amplifier on 240 volts. I also have a
120 volt amplifier that draws lots of current so when using it, I have
heaver wire. That is one place where your system of everything on a 240
volt line would have been handy.

That (Edison circuit) isn't cricket. You can't guarantee the neutral
current is within spec. I have 220V outlets wired with normal 12/2
(with white wire painted red) but a shared neutral between two 120V
circuits on opposite legs of the 240V isn't legit.

Dmned right it is. It's not only legal, it was REQUIRED BY CODE

Why are you so obsessed with code?

He's not obsessed with code, he merely pointed out to you that you
don;t know WTF you're talking about, *again*, and Edison circuits
are normal, safe, and MEET CODE. The neutral current will never be
greater than the breaker rating. For example, a 20A circuit will
have 20A breakers and use 12g wire. There will never be more than
20A flowing in the neutral.

Again, you capitalised "MEET CODE". Who gives a **** about code? It's your house, you do as you wish in it.

You know, that guy Peeler is right. You are a total waste of time and a
troll. YOU made all kinds of ridiculous claims here, including that
somehow an Edison circuit neutral can have a neutral that becomes
overloaded. Part of how we show that your claims are BS is by citing
CODE.

Further, I had to pull a wheel off my SUV the other day. Just for grins
and to prove what a **** head you are, I looked at the electric impact
wrench I have. It's 50+ years old, heavy duty, made by Ingersol-Rand
in America. It plugs into any 15A circuit, I ran it off a long extension
cord. The spec label on that impact wrench says 4 AMPS. So it's ~500 watts.
There is an example why there is no problem using hand held power tools
here.

No run along and go **** yourself, I will no longer be responding to
anything you post here.
