Hi,
You are right, there are 3 transmissions per zero crossing. The first is almost at the zero crossing, the second and third 2.778 ms and 5.556 ms later (in a 60 Hz environment) respectively. These last two are transmitted solely to cater to receivers which might be on other phases, and which would therefore see their zero crossings 2.7 ms and 5.56 ms later (again as per 60 Hz) .
Therefore, as long as the transmitter and receiver are on the same phase, they experience the zero crossing simultaneously, and the frequency itself is immaterial.
