Thanks Matt. That makes sense.
Not 180deg apart. It's single phase.The other half is 180 degrees apart
In relation to the other half transformer output it is 180 degrees apart. Do not be dense.Not 180deg apart. It's single phase.

Oh well, once again I am forced to put you back on ignore.Incorrect
You are just adding to the confusion.
A piece of wire is fine.I found the PN breaker. That’s pretty slick.
If I run this off one Quattro, I understand the need to put a jumper between the top 2 main lugs.
What does that look like? I’ll have the line coming in from the inverter. Do I stack the jumper (a piece of wire) with the inverter line? Or is the jumper a store-bought thing like a little bus bar? Google no help.
Thanks
It's one sinewave. But if you hook the scope leads up with the primary on the neutral. It allows you to look at the two halves separately. But they're not 180deg apart from each other. It's one wave, displayed in two halves.Just in case it helps here is a nice video about the subject.Note the 2 waves 180 degrees apart. (7:20 into the video)
Yup, you've got it.To test my understanding. 3 phase as uses on high voltage transmission from a generating station is actually 3 sinewaves out of phase by 120.
While split phase is one sinewave tapped in middle of a transformer to split it into two parts. L1 and L2. Each 120 volts from neutral. And 240 volts from each other (peak to peak).
I’ve been wondering about this for years. Thanks
You are correct...It's one sinewave. But if you hook the scope leads up with the primary on the neutral. It allows you to look at the two halves separately. But they're not 180deg apart from each other. It's one wave, displayed in two halves.
The guy in that video is also confused.
You select 180deg on the inverters. So that they know that they are wired in reverse of each other. It has nothing to do with the sinewave.You have to select 180⁰ separation to get split phase 240V.
They aren't.But the lines are seperated out 180 degrees at the peaks. Just like any wave would be from the midpoint.
