The US runs 240V single phase in almost all residential applications.
It just so happens that the 240V is center tapped to make 120V/240V split phase, but that is still a single phase application.

What happens if you transpose 240V with 110V?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.Voltage is the pressure that electric current (amps) is pushed by. In any given circuit, wattage (power) is what is used to run an appliance. Wattage is produced by 'pushing' a given amount of current.However, the material in which the current is pushed (wire) can stand only so much pressure. If you use 240V on a 110V line, the wiring will no doubt burn.If you attempt to use house current on a 240V rated appliance, you will "over-amp" the device and damage it.If you transpose 240V with 110V and the load is inductive it will not operate. If the load is resistive then you will only get one quarter of the rated wattage if the voltage is reduced by half.I beg to differ with the statement," If you attempt to use house current on a 240V rated appliance, you will "over-amp" the device and damage it." There are many home appliances that utilize a 240 volt supply. The hot water tank, clothes dryer and cooking range to name a few.
