I'm not sure where the dividing line runs between 2 and 3 phase, or how 
small you can get a 3 phase.  We had a one that was larger than 12 KVA 
single phase.  We bunred the 6KV6 to a crisp. (All electric house with 
resistance ceiling heat) I only remember the one they replaced it with 
as larger than 12.

I sure did like that electric heat. Nary a chilly spot in the whole 
house, while I had a service big enough to run a station at the legal 
limit on each band 160-144 at the same time. OTOH, the ACLU complained 
about electric rates and in one month my total bill went from less than 
$90 to nearly $300.  The next month it was back to 90, but with oil 
fired hot water. BTW The nearest neighbor was about 1/3 of a mile away.  
(NO TVI out there)<:-))
