Hey guys. Go to your kitchen duplex outlet with a multimeter set to
measure VAC. Measure across the top and bottom small slots on the
right hand side. It should read 240 Vac thereabouts.

Not in most installations in the United States, it won't. You'll see
ZERO.


Yes, and when you DO see 240 volts, in most cases there would be a red
wire...

I don't know why he thinks all receptacles are split wired
