one neutral to be shared by the two separate circuits, and one shared ground. Let us say that the refrig draws 10 amps and the dishwasher 3 amps. The neutral wire will then carry the difference or 7 amps.

That's the part I could have never figured out on my own. At first, I only understand half of our explanation, but while walking the dogs it all sanpped into focus.

I am also concerned that you may of intended to have an isolation transformer and instead have inadvertantly wired it for balanced power (which is a great thing BTW) and as a result might have undersized your transformer.

Bingo!! I had no idea it was balanced even when I typed that I was getting 60-0-60 volts. Go figure! At that point I was just trying to get standard 0-120.
