I'm gonna need some juice. Although this thing just basicly switches from one coil set to the next. As that darn particle starts gettin toward warp 1 it pushes back on those fields pretty good.

And with those new fourth generation field accentuators [Linked Image], let's just say if they put the meter too close it's not going to be moving as fast as things a little further away.

I think I'm gonna need a grid drop, if they have one of those. One of you guys should know how I can get one. [Linked Image]

[On Paul’s comments, there was a recent usenet thread re “standard” 15½-ampere 3ø 230/400V service for (assumedly single-family) residences in an area of Portugal.]
I've seen 3-phase residential with a 15 or 20A main in France too.

Most new British residential services these days are 100A (240V 2-wire single-phase). There are still plenty of 60A services about, and even a few 40A, though quite rare now.

There is a home about a mile from me that has a 600-ampere switchboard
What on earth are they running in there? One of those linear accelerators? [Linked Image]

Sam, better choose another power source or don't operate the L.A. in inclement weather. PG&E has enough problems keeping the lights burning in B'game during the winter time. [Linked Image]

South San Francisco, I know what this is about, you guy's just want all the power for yourselves. Probably for Genentec.

Didn't it turn out that the power companies were just working over Grey Davis and all those rolling blackouts were the product of good old fashioned capitolism?

Minor aside — Phys, this is real decent stuff. Get the optional CSPE jacket while you're at it. ;-] www.kerite.com/catalog/catalogfiles/high_voltage_115kv.htm

[But SLAC uses their arch competitor, Okonite.]
