No the don't have a seperate supply, they have a supply with two live wires and a neutral with the live wires having opposite polarity so you get 240V between them. Many larger appliances run on 240V BUT they often contain 120V control electronics.

It was a goodly few years ago ....... maybe I remembered it wrongly ....... Sorry chaps
