Another way of looking at it is x=+120V, y=-120V (relative to Neutral n here n ~= g except at high current draw. Often wiring within a single residential room is from a single circuit breaker. Interestingly, the National Electric Code (NEC) rates 10, 12, and 14 AWG wire at 15,20, and 30 amps no matter how long the wire is, analogous to the state of SC once legisilating the value of pi to be exactly three. AWG<10 wire is not subject to this arbitrary amperage and equations for resistance and reactance are used instead.<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460414965278_7216"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460414965278_7217">Phil<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1460414965278_6781"><span></span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"> On Monday, April 11, 2016 5:16 PM, Shane Trent via TriEmbed <triembed@triembed.org> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv4649756289"><div dir="ltr">Hey all!<div><br></div><div>I am looking for a transformer to setup 120V up to 240V.
