What Version Of DirectX Should I Be Using?

Ahh, should state then if you are in MI then this would be true!

Many homes have 3 phase power brought to them. In the electrical box they are further reduced to single phase circuits.

When Biz said that someone changed wiring, it meant he was repositioning outlets on to a specific phase/leg.

3 phase is 4 wire service, 3, 120v lines and a neutral. the 3, 120v legs return back thru neutral leg, 120 degress out of phase to each other.

Electricity is delivered a multitude of ways as AC. Anyways thats why I said I understood about the different legs not being common for the mentioned technology.

In what states do they do that? Only times I have ever run across a residential home that had 3 phase coming into it was if the home owner had like a separate unattached Garage or workshop....

Now strip malls and Commercial/Industrial one would find 3 Phase and all sorts of voltages 210/220/230/240//250/270/277/330/440/600 with the 3 phase starting from the 230 up range

sorry about the hijack----

Heya Vance, how is that new computer build performing for you?

Here we have three phases brought to every house. However, very few have a three-phase wall outlet unless they need it for some heavy duty workshop machines. In my house one phase is for wall outlets and another for heating, the third maybe being for the water heater. Electric sauna heaters are three-phase. So are many electric kitchen stoves.

In your mention, its was obvious that the persons abode had the phases just split out thru regions of abode, an outlet in 1 room was on a different leg than an outlet in another.

This is just good knowledge to have for this technology. One of the first troubleshooting spots on a failed install in a house, or possibly and RV.

I would be surprised about a 3 phase stove, prolly more single phase 220v. This requires 2 hot legs. Most appliances are now 110v I think, conservation, but many units were/are 220v. In Europe 220v is standard, yes?

220 to 240, depending on country.

And yes, 3 phase stoves. Why would there be three fuses for it if it weren't?

Here, in Texas, 3 phase power is relegated to commercially zoned properties.  I tried to get 3 phase for my garage at home and was denied it by code compliance.

That will change soon, I expect.
All electric car owners needs 3 phase if they want a fast recharge.
