a single AC outlet still pulses power sinusoidally, could you provide a diagram? the 240V split phase is just with a center tap to ground, so each phase is 120V with respect to ground... I don't see the relevance here (unless I misunderstand you)...


The GP is saying (IIUC) that you should have 2 outlets and opposite phases. But that’s exactly what split-phase looks like in house wiring, right? (Whether that’s how the inverter functions or not).


with 2 outlets he means 4 conductor terminals, and with "opposite phases" he means voltages in quadrature (so that power is in opposite phase, since out of phase voltages means in phase power)?
