I saw one house here in Florida with 400 Amp
three phase service because of the elevator and the 12" deep well pumps.

Ouch.... now that is power.


That is a lot of power - Were running a 400A 208V 3 phase service to my
business! It's enough to run 2 large reflow ovens, 2 complete automated
assembly lines (which can chew some power), elect heat (and it gets cold at
times here), wave solder machines, enviro chamber, lights, manual
production, compressor, soon to be AC/heat pump if it ever arrives, etc. We
may have some problems when we upgrade one machine though, which might chew
up most of that 140 some kVA's we have coming in the building! :-(


This was the main service to their house, a small office building and
one of the large water wells for their business. They had a backup
three phase generator for their house and office buildings, and an
auxiliary diesel pump to keep the water flowing on the thousands of
acres. When they shut the nursery down, part of the estate was to be
converted into an 18 hole golf course, and another section into a large
subdivision.
