rbiro,
I would imagine that if you scope'd out a 1 phase 3 wire system and used a "common" probe on the center tapped grounded neutral conductor - with probes also on the 2 ungrounded conductors, the results would be sine waves of equal intensity and equal time, rather than any time offset.
Seems likely that the wave displayed for "Line A - Center Tap" circuit [let's call this one "Ckt. 1"], the wave would begin at the zero line off of the ungrounded conductor Line "A".
The wave displayed for "Center Tap - Line B" circuit [let's name this one "Ckt. 2"] would begin at the zero line on the center tapped common netutral, and in-time with the wave for Ckt. 1 [no time offset or other type of lag/lead - except those of Reactance per wave].
I have never scope'd the described connections, so if anyone has conflicting information, please chime in!!!
Would like to perform this test ASAP. If I can get hold of a scope for a day or so, definitely will run this analysis!

BTW, has this topic's original question[s] been covered to everyone's liking, or are there still some pending Q's???
If there are, feel free to toss them in!
As said many times before - "There's no Stupid Questions in this forum, just occasional Silly answers".
No one needs to feel intimidated if they are unsure of ANY topic in which this forum may help with. Throw it in and let everyone chime in.
As far as the tech stuff goes, don't feel bad if it doesn't make 100% sense right away!
Electrophysics is by far one of the most in-depth and complex theories in the Scientific Community, but with a little time and patients, ANYONE interested can grasp the principles.
S.E.T.
