Yes it is
But
My property in Arizona is 7+ miles away from the grid
For some strange reason I do not think that in my life time it will make it to my property
So I as well as others have to be prepared to supply our selves with power if we want it.
Being self sufficient has its ups and down sides.
Even tho I am on the grid right now. I supply my own power from time to time.
The power Company will not supply me with 3PH
So I have to supply my own for some of the equipment I have.
It is real nice knowing that If I need a piece of equipment I do not need to worry about 1PH or 3PH power until it gets to the real big stuff.
My welder can handle an 7HP 3PH motor and probably a 10HP (maybe)
My Air Compressor has a 3HP 3PH motor and I have a 3PH Slip Role machine to role 14ga sheet metal.
When I move up to Arizona permanently I will be set up to make a small living with my equipment pending my Vantage 400 dues not break down for the 3 PH power.
If it does I am sure that I will figure something out to power my stuff.
