Henry,  I caught that about the 3 ph too but kind of figured he might have 
been talking about the 2 110 legs feeding the 220.  That's not 3 ph of 
course.

Like you said, even if he has 3 ph at the transformer it's very doubtful 
he's got 3 ph at his house.  Mike, you're not running a machine shop or 
something out of your home are you?  There would be no reason for them to 
pull 3 ph to the house otherwise.  I better hush, I'm already over my head 
here.
