2-phase power as in two phases, neutral and earth?
As in two hot and one neutral, 110VAC RMS from each hot to neutral, 220VAC RMS from hot to hot.
Bzzzzzztt. Wrong answer! What you have is plain old 220 single phase just like virtually everyone else has. Actual two-phase power hasn't been used in this country for decades, and when it was, it was for industrial use only. It was NEVER installed in homes.
I have to agree. I'm an EE and if any of my old profs heard me call residential/commercial centertapped 240 V as "two phase" -- why, they'd flail me with a Smith Chart.
And if John wants weird, how about 6-phase? Or 16.33 Hz. Recall that it was common for large Industrial Age factories to generate their own power, and they thus got to decide exactly what they wanted. Some still do to this day, such in paper mills, etc. There was an explosion at the Ford complex's power plant in Detroit a few years ago; I recall because several people died.
