 by old kodger - paul,
It was not until I had answered junker2 that I read your post. Whilst I have not read all of your post, the misconception is contained within the first paragraph.
"it would appear that in some installations the Australian 230 Volts can also be split to two 115 Volt="phases=" by the addition of a neutral wire="
Not so under ANY circumstances. Single phase here is ONE hot line and= "Pin It")

Not so under ANY circumstances. Single phase here is ONE hot line and ONE neutral bonded to ground, and cannot be split except with a 1:2 center tapped transformer where you will get the high end of the transformer putting out 220volts, and the low end of the transformer putting out 220 volts 180 degrees apart.
Incidentally, 3 phase here is three separate phases of 220 volts 120 degrees apart.
