The further eroding of our freedoms by a device that can detect minor influxes in your house wiring.
Then they drop you until you fix it which could cost thousands and thousands chasing a non existant ghost of an intermittent problem. If I do it at all it will be on my own and not tell the insurance companies.

Hard to put any stock in "electricians" that use the term "the other phase" (twice) in residential house wiring. There is only one "phase" and no other.
230V is only single phase? I know it's called that, but when shorting the two phases together, they will create a huge spark called a short circuit.
It's actually 240v in residential applications. Yes, it's single-phase split phase from the utility. Different ends of the same transformer referenced to a center tap or split phase transformer. Yeah, you short them together you make smoke.
230-240 equals semantics. The schematic certainly shows two phases. The oscilloscope pattern will verify it.
No, that's not correct. It is a single phase 240v with two 120v legs when referenced to neutral. They are not out of phase, the oscilloscope only shows the voltage when referenced to neutral which APPEARS to be 180 deg. out. But I'll let you read up on basic electrical theory and not hijack this thread any longer.
