You can get it if you're willing to pay for it, but you may not like the quoted price.

Haha, I can't get it at all here. It's not a matter of paying an absurd price that will get you a PhasePerfect for 10% of it. It's a matter of it just not being available at all.

Have you really asked? Generally it is possible if you pay, but expect to pay $100,000+ to get it. Most neighborhoods don't have the right wires to you pay paying for all new poles and wires to your neighborhood.

That said, a few cities/states don't allow 3 phase to residences in their building code. However most do allow it, and so it is just a matter of convincing the power company to run it.

If I had a periodic need for three phase power on-site, I would just purchase (or rent) a generator that can provide this style of output.

I think most home shops use phase converters, either rotary phase converters or variable frequency drives. With those you can create a third phase to run machines that need it, although obviously you won't have as much power available to you.

My own shop uses: https://www.phasetechnologies.com/products/phase-converters/...

It's nice because there's no motor to worry about maintaining and the machines can run at full power.

And of course, an alternatives is to have a battery bank as well with inverters - which means you can get your amps - but only if you're not running 24/7. You'd have to let the grid (or solar) charge you up.

In CA it's just a matter of checking a box, then they put a transformer on the PG&E pole to match your voltage reqs - the wire to your pole is $90. The transformer can run in the thousands probably up to 10k.

That said you just pay that once, after that you have your rate.

A lot of people have odd power requirements - but usually not residences. Farms typically get 400V for greenhouse fans, for example.
