All I can say is WOW!
LISTEN, although the 2 hot legs of a 50 amp supply are 120v when measure to neutral or ground they MUST be 180* out of phase resulting in a 240v supply. If they aren't out of phase, meaning both hot legs are being supplied from the same source hot leg. You have a problem. No neutral canceling can occur at your breaker panel. That means the neutral line must be capable of carrying 100 amps and need to be twice as large as the hot legs. It would also not meet any electrical code anywhere except maybe in Bangladesh.
If you don't understand it, stay away from it and hire a qualified electrician.
