Yeah, good luck.  Getting the power company to install legitimate 3 Phase
power to your home is difficult enough.  My friend recently did this and it
too about 6 months to get all the paper work , inspection, etc. . . For the
power company won't even come out unless this is all done and your electric
panels are installed etc....
