  180 degrees, if your feed is 220v 2-phase. If you have 3-phase power,
you'll likely be feeding a breaker box from two of the three phases,
which would then be 120 degrees apart. That would, I believe,
technically be 208v, not 220v.

  It wouldn't really be 220v center-tapped, though, at least not the
way I'm used to thinking about it.
