More pictures needed of transformers. Only transformer I see is single phase. If a Lineman chimes in they may see more than me. Just call your POCO. Top lines do all have insulators.

If the utility approves it, it'll probably look something like this.

Thank you all. I'll check with the utility to see what's possible.

Yes it is 3 phase but a higher voltage than you need for a house. Probably 13 kV

Makes the microwave more powerful.

Just as a side note: It would be a rare occurrence to get a 3PH service to a property with a single dwelling on it.

Calculated Roof Loading (lb/ft2) = Depth (ft) x Density (lb/ft2 /ft depth). The approximate density (lb/ft2 /ft depth) is: 5-20 for light snow. 20-40 for packed snow.

I suspect it is a commercial building because of the google map shown.

From the first pic it looked like residential but you may be right.

Even if there is 3 phase on the pole, the POCO may not let you have 3 phase of any voltage at your house/shop. A lot depends on how the line is loaded. Next will be the costs that you WILL INCUR for this new service, could be 10's of thousands of dollars. From the picture you will be paying for the new transformer. If you can prove you have the load to make this happen. Most utilities in Arizona do not allow 2 meters on a single structure.
I had a buddy out in Queen Creek and he wanted 3 phase because of all the wood working equipment he had. APS dredged up every excuse that they could to prevent him from getting a 600 amp 3 phase service. They finally allowed him a 400 amp service (240v)but he had to feed his house from that service. His shop was a separate building, the 3 phase delayed his house by about 5 months, this was almost 20 years ago.

Wish you luck,

do you know how to do roof beam load calculations?


I will be your best friend.

 

[MikeFL]

Hoping someone can tell me if those top 3 lines appear to be hot indicating 3 phase would be available there? Thanks View attachment 172857

I can't believe those people have gravel yards.

That stuff gets to like 175F in the summer heat.

I don't know how to calculate a roof beam load, but I know how to test one. On Friday I hoisted a 15hp IR T-30 compressor up on an elevated pad in a boiler room using a chain hoist hooked onto a rafter. The rafter passed with flying colors.

That ain't going nowhere
