Hypothetical question: If I purchase an inverter from overseas that does not make mention of "split phase", can it be used somehow to supply 120 VAC? And if so, how?
Inverter only outputs at 230-240 VAC 50/60HZ : Can it be used for 120 VAC?

USA. The PoCo supplies a 0V line as well, giving you 120VAC to either hot line. You don't need additional equipment, the PoCo is
doing it with their pole transformer. And the inverter only works when tied to the PoCo. Bruce RoeComment

I don't understand the problem. Practically all legitimate residential grid tie inverters put out 240 VAC, which ties to the hot lines here in
