If I ever did get 3 phase power ran to the house I wouldn't want 480v 3 wire, I would get 120/208v 4 wire configuration.

Cool. Our electrical system only supplies single phase to residential (Canada). There is only 1 feeder coming from the distribution transformer in my area to the house transformer. SaskPower will bring in 3 phase if I pay for extending the other 2 phases to my property, and pay for the three phase transformer, but only if I can get my property re-zoned to commercial.
The electrical inspector tells me that it is illegal for me to 'make' 3 phase out, using a controller, to drive pumps or other loads.
But I can have 600V DC off a solar array on my house, and if I don't grid tie ... I don't even need an ELECTRICAL PERMIT. Anyone can claim to be a solar installer, dig holes in my roof, hook up high voltage DC without being an electrician .... what a system!
