The USA has a +55v 0v -55v system. White is 0v. Black and red are both
lives, one +55v and one -55v, although I forget which is which. Wiring
across black and red gives 110v. There is also a blue live for use in
three phase systems.
Where? The USA's common system is 120V-0-120V with phase-phase being
used for high load devices.
You're not confusing this with "yellow" building site transformers and
tools are you?
He'd already owned up to the mistake nine hours berfore your
