I think that Loosenut & MrWizzard have got it right on the money! Dang, why didnt i think of that?
If the windings are in a series configuration, a center tap from each would yeild 120v relative to each other, 60v relative to the neutral tap.
If the windings are parallel, a center tap from each would yeild 0v relative to each other, 60v relative to the neutral tap.
(again Im assuming the windings are center tapped.)
While looking at the "exact" tap placement in the drawing, if seemed to me that 0 to maybe 8 volts would be present relative to each other. Surely the AVR has a greater voltage sample rate than this. Cant be THAT accurate. My next thought was that a center tap would be the easiest and simplest in the Mfg process, and would allow the use of a so called "120v only" AVR in a 120/240v gen head with regulation on each winding.
maybe just maybe,, sure hope this is the answer.
