In low density areas in the USA there isn't always three-phase on the
pole. The substation that our feeder is on is about eight miles away
and about halfway here one phase turns down a side road to feed some
other farms. To get three-phase I'd have to pay Excel to string the
missing wire. The line is also 7 KV so I'd have to pay for two more
transformers.
At our place in Minneapolis, on the other hand, there was 240
three-phase on the pole fed from a set of transformers at the end of the
block. I could have had three-phase in the house just by paying for the
wire. Of course, any rf I had put on the house wiring would have gone
to every house on the block...
