I am in the process of building a power supply for my lathe and need a big transformer for for the powersupply. My main question is given the type of transformer I was not sure how the transformer performs with two hot legs as opposed to one hot and one neutral. I am having a hard time finding a refrence to explain it to me.

You already have 127vac with one leg grounded, the std voltage here, just by plugging whatever into the nearest duplex socket on the wall. How many amps does this pull? 15 for a normal duplex, twenty for the inline slot version that has 10 guage in the wall, beyond that you would need to have another branch circuit installed.
