I'm with Clark. What's in a name? EE profs have been wrong before, you know.

Between the phases there is 220V single phase.
From either phase to ground or neutral there is 110 V and these are opposite phases (180� apart)


So they are both single phase and two phase.

You can get a problem when the neutral develops resistance. A friend's fridge fried his computer once. Living near the sea, corrosion developed on the neutral. So the low impedance load (fridge) on one phase dropped all the voltage on the other phase on which was his computer (high impedance load).

Bzzzzzzzzt.  - some years BMV (before multi voltage)

I still use the term as it's accurate and it fits.

What term ?! Two-phase for single phase ???
