Single Phase

Single phase 120/240 volts is used primarily in residential structures. It is operated by 3 wires, consisting of two hot wires each carrying 120 volts and a neutral wire having no voltage. Items requiring 240 Volts are connected between the two hot wires, and loads requiring 120 Volts can be connected between either hot wire and the neutral.
