This is unfortunately a continuation of a part of the off-topic stuff that brings down the respect of our forum, but must be done.

Re ??the wording that began in a different topic /g/HallicraftersRadios/message/31466 ?and somehow has been continued in this topic and that continues a dispute is:? ??

“Yes, it is known as the Edison split phase system, see:

”

I previously glossed over the above wording believing that a comma was just accidentally missing, and knowing people often use loose wording to express difficult stuff, however when looking at the quoted link, I see the following: ?

quote ?????

“A split-phase or single-phase three-wire system is a type of distribution. ??It is the (AC) equivalent of the original three-wire ” ?

End quote ???and not “Edison split phase system”

The term “split-phase” is used frequently in the above link , and ?“Edison” is used twice, but not beside “split-phase” or “split phase”.

?

Now, Re?? the previously quoted ?

Here is what I see in that quoted text at the top on my bit-machine and screen with my old eyes:

Ask An Electrician - How Does Edison 3 Wire (Split Phase) System Work?

As I see it , [with? added spaces,color, etc ?for clarity ] the area in dispute says :

Edison 3 Wire ???( Split Phase ) ???System. ?

I read that in my grammar as: ?

Edison 3 Wire ???or ???Split Phase ???System …

Which ?means to me that the system can be identified by either ?

1. ?the term ?“Edison 3 Wire” ???????

????????or

2. the term ?“Split Phase” ??

?????the term ?“single-phase three-wire” is perhaps more clear ?in a multi-phase environment

And intentionally misquoting it as ?“Edison split phase system” and then reinforcing it seems to me to be intentionally part of the “misinformation” society that is plaguing this side of the world. ?

Misinformation is false or inaccurate information—getting the facts wrong. Disinformation is false information which is deliberately intended to mislead—intentionally misstating the facts.
