how many folks have +10kVA trannys before the rig?

If you can swing the power company to do a three phase install on your home, you get your own dedicated 15 KVA transformer and (if lucky) you will be the only one in the neighborhood on the transformer.

I did this, took a lot of time with a TXU supervisor and I had to "prove" I needed it. In my case the photo studio on the back of my home. Probably a big stereo with multiple breakers might convince them too.

While you're at it, the 750 Amp trans socket meter base is a huge upgrade over conventional power meters and as a bonus, there is no provision for trans socket to be digital (at least not in my market).

Ngjockey, actually it's a 25KVA transformer but I didn't notice I typed the numeral wrong until later in the thread.

I'm the only one in the neighborhood on the service, so it's more than enough.

We have gas HVAC and gas water heater but in Texas the killer is summer heat and associated AC cost. I installed a commercial 3 phase AC (8 tons) and it really did help cut the electric bill.
