Can the CW 80 and the 180 powerhouse be phased? Peter C.

I don't think they can. The powerhouse is pure sine wave and the CW80 is chopped sine wave. Phasing can only work with two pure sine wave transformers. Two identical chopped wave transformers could be phased but two different chopped wave transformers would only work if their outputs matched. Luck involved with the latter.

Your voltmeter is reading RMS voltage. If you had an oscilloscope and put both outputs on the screen and superimposed them you would see most of the time the voltage differs. Any differences means the higher voltage is trying to drive the transformer with lower voltage at that point in time.
