Terry -

I think you will find that your electric utility would consider yours as a
120/240 volt single phase system. A two phase system has the phases at 90
degrees not 180. A two phase motor would be self starting without the
additional help a single phase motor requires. There are no utilities using
the two phase system anymore.

Hi John,

It should be two-phase 180-degree  120-0-120.

Cheers,
