>Hi Ian,

I've always wondered what the point of the "two phase system" is.  Where is 
it grounded?  How is it configured to put a balanced load on the 
generator?  Would it be set up so as to get two, two phase systems from one 
source?  This has always been a brain teaser.  I've never seen a two phase 
system.
