Okay so about 3 years ago I had an Electrician install a 240v line into my basement so I could use 240v tools and also run all my PC/electronics off 240v.
My understanding it is 2x120v 20amp lines combined to create 240v 20amp, which I need. My buddy thinks its out of phase and not installed right.
He thinks its 2 phase which doesn't make sense to me but it makes me wonder and want to verify it.
If it was out oh phase wouldn't it show as 120v 2 phase and my UPS wouldnt work?
I have been running my 230v UPS (best I could afford at the time) off it (slightly overvoltage for its specs) and its been running fine for like 3 years. Granted, it AVR bucks the line frequently, which is why I wanted to get a true 240v online UPS, which is strong enough to power all my stuff so I don't have this 3 separate UPS back up BS.
I use this adapter to connect the outlet to my UPS.
The UPS reads 250v and my server, monitors, and computer have been running off it for years. I am able to upgrade to a new and high-quality UPS but wanted to make sure everything was on the up and up!

I use mostly EVGA 1000P2, 650P2, and 1300 G2 UPS and my 3-4 monitors and other knick-knacks
Looking to replace my current UPS with 1 of these 2

So is my set up done right or is something heinously wrong? I haven't turned on my new 9900K build yet because I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to fuck it up!
Thanks for all the help!!!
Below are a bunch of photos
Here is a dropbox link because it seems photos got compressed a bit. In dropbox link you can read the text on the 2x20amp breakers. Not sure if that's helpful
