OK - I live near Philadelphia - which, together with Baltimore, MD shares
one of the last areas in the US where one may still get actual 2-phase
power. 2-phase, 4-wire power was developed primarily for heavy motor use
in that era when the battle of AC vs. DC was not yet settled and 3-phase
power was barely a gleam in Tesla's Eye. (SIDE NOTE: The last DC building
in NYC fed from the Pearl Street Station (for ~125 years) went down in
2007.) For whatever reason, both Philadelphia and Baltimore accumulated an
inventory of heavy freight elevators that use 2-phase motors to this day,
such that the local utilities continue to supply the power to a very few
customers in specific locations within each city. I had the privilege of
working on several such elevators and heavy water pumps in my youth while
working my way through >>school as an electrician.
NOTE ALSO: some few households at the time also got 2-phase. And both PA
and Reading railroad workers living along the rights-of-way got 25-Hz
current - used for railroad traction motors, also to this day.
Standard household power in the US is 1/3 of a Delta-connected 3-phase
system, being hot-to-Hot at a nominal 240V and hot-to ground at 120V.
Single-phase as only 1/3 of the total capacity is realized. All this is
done in the single-phase transformer at the sub-station, not the
distribution transformer at >>the pole (vault) in the neighborhood.

There REALLY WERE, honestly, 2-phase systems in use quite some time ago.Show me the phase difference between your "TRUE" 2 phase and the
"FALSE" 2 phase that you seem to know so much about.
I really want to know because I would like to see if you really
understand what the term "PHASE" actually means?

An easy way to tell is to hook a simple 2 wire iduction motor across the
lines. If it starts, it is 2 phase, if not single phase. The single
phase motor needs some means of starting such as a capacitor start
circuit. That was one of the reasons 2 phase power was used.

I don't intend to get suckered into a long thread about the difference. All
I am going to say is that by definition the 2 phase power is seperated by 90
deg instead of the 180 deg that the more common split phase is as some try
to make it .

I know that in some parts of the country you may run into many different
kinds of power in the houses, just not too common.
Only reason I mentioned the 2 phase stuff was because of the origional
question. I doubt that a house hold dryer would be 2 phase, but who knows ?
I bet it would be difficult for the average home owner to have a house wired
with anything but the standard 120/240 system of most of the country and get
anything to work.
Living in the south I doubt much if any of that 'odd ball' power was used.
About the only "odd" voltage I see is some 208 volts phase to phase with 120
to the neutral instead of the 240 p to p.
