Country power! I found out two months after the installation I could have had two phases. Damn! Theo

One phase for the oven, the other for the other heating elements. From that lighting came off one phase and GPOs off the other. Weird the other week. During some really bad weather, we lost a phase off the tranny up the road. One phase, the lights, was running at 185v, the other at around 34v. Strange to go for a drive up the road to see lots of houses with everything blazing away and others in total darkness. Became annoying when the next night it was like that still.... -- Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular.

My parents house was built (by dad) in the early 50s and later got an electric stove. It was common then for stoves to be two-phase with, as you said, one phase for the cook-tops and one for the oven. The house however, had three phases. The third phase ran the lights and the powerpoints, as they would in any single-phase house. Theo |
