<snip> Sorry for the confusion. Electricians understand 'side' to mean the same 'leg' of service, not physical location in the panel. Forgot for a moment that we're all not electricians =) To clarify by using your diagram, the recommendation is to have it all on A or all on B. To further clatrify, we do not use two-phase power in the US for residential use. Only single and - rarely - three phase systems. It is confusing but that the way it is. In a nutshell, sending two legs of power from the transformer on the pole, each 180 degrees out of phase with each other, into the home is still single-phase. Just two legs of it in a very efficient manner. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
