I see what you are saying, that worst case, if L1 had 10 amps and L2 had 20 amps, the neutral wire might possibly have to carry all 30 amps as opposed to a split phase transformer neutral only carrying the difference of 10 amps. Thanks.
I didn't think it possible to use a common neutral for out of phase power sources,vbut I'm just not grasping in a standard split phase transformer what happens in the neutral wire and why that works
in a split phase transformer, how is the neutral wire shared. since the split phases of the hot wired are 180 apart, what happens in the neutral wire. my question stems from having two single phase inverters and wanting to hook them up to a home panel board with a common neutral the two...
