Don,
If you don't understand the basics, you should not be playing with electricity. For sure then you should not be giving advice!!

You are wrong. The 120V loads are in series, so the two legs cancel out. It is only the unbalanced differential current that is seen on the neutral between the panel and the pole.Please correct me if I am wrong, Anyone.
If your theory is correct then everything would need to be running on 240V Only and it is not, to the best of my knowledge.
The neutral is the return path for 120V devices.

I don't get it. Your humor is too subtle this time.

You must not have understood what I wrote about only the differential going to neutral. If each leg is pulling roughly the same amps, there will be no amps on the neutral. THis is sparky 101...
Oh yeah, that aluminum foil hat. I bought the same model you did at that flea market in Houston. And yes HJ, if I had aThe plasma suit should not be required if you have a Aluminum Foil Hat.
PPE is important.
There is a lot of misinformation in that link.
.....
Anyone remember the commercial where the girl found a French model on the internet? The moral of that story is a good one, don’t put your confidence in anything found on the internet.

This link also implies that one end of the 240 volt winding is somehow 180 degrees out of phase with the other end which is untrue. As the primary winding oscillates it is inducing the same sine wave into the secondary winding. The law of physics will not allow for the induced voltage to somehow be split into two sine waves that are 180 degrees out of phase with each other.
This would not be unusual given the nature of our power grid.I put my clamp on ammeter on the ground cable, and found 0.40 amp. Which I still find unacceptable, but I also don't know where it is coming from...
Pray tell us all just how the sine wave some how splits and inverts itself in a winding, it can't. There is no way possible that the winding can have a positive on both ends at the same time. Ever put batteries in a flashlight with one turned the wrong way? Didn't work did it? The same thing would happen if the winding some way ended up with a + at both endsWhen you measure voltage, it is with respect to a potential somewhere. If we are measuring with respect to the grounded center tap, the two hots are indeed 180 degrees out of phase with each other. Measuring WRT the grounded center tap is a most reasonable reference point.
If the two ends had a positive at the same time, they would be in phase. Since they are out of phase, then the two hots will not be positive at the same time.Pray tell us all just how the sine wave some how splits and inverts itself in a winding, it can't.

This is awkward, but...
