I don't think you understood my post. Two phases give you 230 volts, which needs only one neutral. This would be wired with three conductors, and these are typically required in a kitchen, i.e. 2x115 volt on one receptacle but on two opposed circuit breakers.

Two 115 V circuits requires two neutrals, and would be supplied with a pair of two conductor wires.
