Was talking to one of the guys at my office who lives in the sticks. He said when they put in the electric to his place they told him to use 4 inch conduit because they needed to run 6 wires. Most houses only have 3 wires run to their meter, two black/hot wires and one white/neutral wire and that gives them 220 volt service. But the electric company told him the service in his area had no neutral so they had to run three wires into his meter and circuit box AND three wires back out. All the wires go to a transformer on a pole that's then connected to the hi-tension system. It's not a three phase system according to him.
So what's going on with this 3 in and 3 out? Why the 3 wires back out?
