   Only when the centertap is your reference point.   
      
   Maybe a 240V-only appliance (no neutral) is adding to the confusion?   
      
   I've seen a cable that gets 120V/240V form two small generators (which   
   each produce only 120V). Do you think that makes a difference in how   
   many phases you have?
