Larry,
Thanks for the info. Here's the page my friend sent to me that made me think that:
[Link: x10ideas.com]It appears (from looking at the colors on the diagram at the link above)that you could get 240v from the two phases by connecting wires to two breakers that are directly across from each or above and below each other.
I see what you mean from the your link though. I'm going to connect the coupler tomorrow (my wife won't let me turn the power off on Thanksgiving) so I'll use a meter on the breaker box and see what I can learn. I'm no electrical genius but I'm learning something new every day thanks to this forum!
Thanks,
Carter
