I know when I was initially checking the output of the 240 outlet on the welder, I was getting 120v from each leg to ground. I'd have flagged it for replacement if the legs were reading different (I so want this thing gone).
I Googled Electrical Phase Angle, and could not find anything that I could understand. My education only went so far. If the difference between the two legs is less than one volt to qualify for a different phase angle...it may be there. Maybe today I will get my scopemeter hooked up to it to watch the sine wave for each leg.
