I was not aware you guys had 240v in premesis. I guess that must be some
kind of a twin phase supply?

If by "You guys" you mean North America, yes, all power into houses is by
two opposite phases-- three wire-- + - and ground. Most connections go
between + or - and ground, but if you want 240 you use the connection
between + and - (Yes, it is AC, the + and - indicate opposite phases.)
Most stoves, dryers use 240. (high power devices so going to 220 gives
twice the power on the same 15 amp current limit)


Fantastic and interesting post to read - not much to do with Linux
networking as I'm sure someone will point out - but thanks for what you
have taken the time to write.
