    Google two phase and you will find that indeed there is such a thing. Not common anymore but there are systems referred to as two phase. Not sure how you used the term, but many people incorrectly call a residential 120/240 service two phase. If you heard that you could have learned it wrong before you had the chance to learn it in trade school.

    PS. When a Journeyman humiliates an apprentice it just means he is unsure of his own sexual orientation.
    SMALL people humiliate others, BIG people mentor others.

    When a Journeyman shows no mercy when an apprentice messes up, how much mercy do you think he will get when he needs it? And trust me, one day he WILL need it...

    Yea i agree , I think this is pretty standard over seas . I believe i have seen this terminology from mitsubisi in the past .

    Single phase vs two phases.

    I think that what we've got here is a difference in communication.

    What slatts says is just describing (perhaps a bit more accurately) what we here in NA call a single-phase condition.

    He calls is a two phasing and that is more accurate than what we say. Think about it, guys.

    Slatts knows his stuff.

    2 phase?????
    Lmao, no such thing!!!
    Single-phase systems use a single sine wave, three-phase uses three (sine waves). Remove a leg from a three phase load, and you now have a single phase load regardless of voltage!!!

    Okay.

    I just caught the fact that this is not a US install. So, I can't advise you about a system with which I am not familiar.

    I'll make a hat.

    No need to be such a dick. I'm enjoying learning things work differently elsewhere.

    We don't use 120 here except for on control circuits in machines from over your way.

    yes.

    240 volt, a neutral and a separate ground.

    We also have 415 volt single phase motors that use 2 phases.

    If you follow me.

    They're something of a rarity though. Kirby tend to use them on their 3 phase condensing units so you don't need to run a neutral to it when installing it.

    A bit of a trap for young players.
