[QUOTE=h2ojocky;1103928]Scottz is right. See link

Hi

Scottz is not correct you add the voltage not the amperage to obtain the 12,000 watts.

120V 50 amps on leg 1 and 120V 50 amps 0n leg 2 only works because the neutral no longer conducts power and the voltage is a total of 240v X 50 amps = 12,000 watts.

See the wiring diagram of the transformer.

The amperage remains at 50.

Here is a modified drawing of the transformer that may help.
