Ahhh no answer to that, so just an A-H attack. How clever....
OHHH so now we are going from never, to "low likelyhood"?
I used to live in one of those locations. It had a for s*it utility neutral.
Ahh.... yet an other A-H attack...... Your ability to have polite discourse is short of amazing, well well short of it.

Coming from you I won't get shook up about it as you struggle, trip and fall climbing to the heights of glory. And when you look back, no one is following, nor do they care.
You are among the mushroom people.

No, I don't give a s*it about you. That's what you are.

Yeah, I should have been clear on how I said what I did. We live in a remote area, with the smallest parcel being 5 acres. There are larger lots, some of them as large as 60 acres. As a result, and the fact that it hadn't developed much until the past ten years, only one leg ran on the ridge. Growth necessitated the upgrade, but even then they had intended to run only two of the legs. The three phase terminates at our residence, and we are the only ones that are using all three legs.
I agree, having three phase run to a residence is not common, although I've had it at the last three locations. First one was open delta. Second one and this one are full blown three phase delta. Second one didn't cost us a dime----all we had to do was guarantee a given amount of use over a given amount of time. Wasn't so lucky here. It cost just over $22,000 to have it run to us. Worth every damned penny as far as I'm concerned. I have a
50 kw induction furnace that I want to run, to say nothing of my numerous three phase machine tools.

Heh! I just commented on that in a different response. It cost just over $22,000. They had quoted me over $30,000 originally, before they realized they had to update the line. The time interval between the original inquiry and the one where I committed was several years. Glad I waited! We were still living in Utah, so it made no difference. We've had the three phase service for about nine years now. Very convenient. I've had such service since 1967.

Depends a lot on where you live. On the street where i grew up it could be had, but rotary converters were often cheaper. Most places i lived in the LA area it could be had from the local pole. Where i live now it is over 10,000 to get 3 phase.

*Every* house I've ever lived in had 3-phase "on the pole". None had
3-phase service, though. My father wanted 3-phase service when they built their house in '59, but the power company wanted a minimum of $100/mo just to bring it down from the pole to the weather head. Wasn't worth it for him to work at home.

MANY street transformers are single phase only in residential areas. The main feed would in all likelihood be 3 phase, with phases separated to feed different streets/loops. Getting 3 phase power to a building in areas like this is VERY expensive.
J

For SOME value of populated that may be true, but almost every where I have lived, has only singe phase on the poles, in residential areas. Nearest 3 ph to me is at least a half mile.

Are you sure? Perhaps it is just that way where you live.
Southern California distributes 208 ungrounded delta configuration in the industrial park I was in at my last job.

Sure they did. Where did you get your 120 volts from?
C
Capt. Cave Man
Our building used one of the phases to feed a step down transformer that supplied 240 center tapped secondaries to us for standard services. Any power supply we made that was more than 1kW meant that we could not use our standard feeds to test it, so we had to get one leg of a three phase feed fed into our lab, which we found to be not respective to ground.
So our "120" came from whatever manner the power company used to supply the entire area. Step down transformers with the center tap of the secondary grounded at the pole, and at the service entrance and panel. No big mystery.

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement, reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"

Highly doubtful. The odds are much more favorable that one day you WILL piss off the wrong person. Indeed, we haven't heard from the military guy whose girlfriend you were so vulgar with. And he was locally SD based, right? We'll know he's reached you when we see you posting apologies. You are such a prick!

Just so you know, dumbfuck, numerical age, does not a man make, and you are the proof of that.
