Actually, the term "Split Phase" is accurate.
The source is a center tapped 240 volt winding.
-180 0 +180 degrees.
Either side to center (neutral) is 120v, and across both sides (hot)
is 240v.
The usual problem is when people insist on calling it 2-phase due to
the ± nature of it.
It is not, the primary is single phase.
3 phase has an angle between each phase of 360/3 = 120 degrees.
Correct.
2 phase has an angle between each phase of 360/2 = 180 degrees.
And that's what you have with the US domestic 120/240 system.
Absolutely NOT. That is center tapped single phase.
In the early days of electrical generation, there was 2-phase, but the
two phases were offset by 90 degrees.
