Respectfully there is no standoff you are wrong.
there is only a single PHASE in household power supplies unless you
have a huge shop and have 3 phase power(rare). What you haven't noticed
was the fact that it is a SINGLE phase that is SPLIT by a transformer
with the center tapped to ground for reference. Not 2 phases , just a
split-phase.........DO NOT CONFUSE!
I don't really understand the difficulty if you have 40 years of
electronics you should have played with tranformers a little by now. Oh
wait a minute this isn't electronics........
Leave it to ELECTRICIANS. I also know electronics and love to build
things but when I started in the electrical field I discovered most of
electronics is diffrent than electrical even the symbols( capacitors
(electronics) look like open-contacts ( electrical) and it took many
years to sort it all out (oh yes I just knew that electronics would
help me....bahh).
Just to qualify myself I have wired many 3 phase transformers and
motors and know what the difference in a delta, wye or delta-wye
transformer, and can wire them correctly too.
