there is plenty residences that have 3 phase. farms are most, one house we looked at had 3phase for the wood working shop they had setup. in town you wont get 3phase in houses much. It takes some work and $$$ 400amp max i think for res settings then you pay 2 or 3 k just to think of bigger 600 amp and above is com/3phase. you do have to get com power but not zoning iirc.

I am hoping to get a 50kw gen for my place but will have to see want to run both the barn and the house off the gen if need be. all welding will be done via gen and barn may never see com powerlines. we shal see though

what's been your experience so far with your generator and welder setup?
