U.S. patent 5,084,686 is called a phase splitter but 90 degrees apart instead of 180. — Omegatron 02:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why is this article talking about puny guitars, instead of mighty locomotives? edit

This article has incorrect content. The "phase splitter" is a rotor-electro-mechanical part of pre-WW2 american electric railroad locomotives, which converted the 11kV/25Hz single phase AC input from the overhead wire into lower voltage, 3-phase AC for use by the asynchronous traction motors. The system has gone out of use by circa 1957. 92.52.242.149 (talk) 21:10, 7 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
