I can't fire that puppy up until I can install a 3 phase generator that'll put
out at least 100 amps at 220v.  Most houses in town don't have 3 phase
power and out here everybody for miles is on the same single phase line.
The hearest 3 phase is about 1.5 miles away and that's a high voltage
main, not a distribution line.  I'm sure Mid-American would be happy to
run a stepped down line from there to my house - for half a million dollars.
