Close. The peaks are the same between L1 and L2 (X1 and X2). Positive, or negative.

Didn't know that. Nice to provide a laugh, now and again. Need a laugh, here, after moving six inches snow off the driveway. And then the church sidewalk.

I wonder what people do, in such a case. Me, I get the generator out. Light a few stove burners, light off some candles, oil lamp, that kind of thing.

After the 27th round of "Angels we have heard on high", a couple people started to gnaw off their own legs to get away. They weren't at all impressed when I tried to put them to bed at

I used to have a generator. Not here. I do have a 60,000 BTU floor furnace that could double as a stove. As for electrical stuff, I guess I could suffer without for a bit. Lights? I don't need no stinking lights! *thump, doh!*

You install power company generators? Why would protection be simpler?

How is it a fusible link? There can't be more current in the neutral than in either of the hots.

If you had no center tap, you certainly would not. One or the other, but not both.
You really are a dumbshit.

Thanks. Got a laugh out of that mental picture. So totally Homer Simpson, there.
