Electricity? Never touch the stuff
I'm hiring an electrician to run a 50 amp line at my daughter's house for my RV. I only need 50amps because I have two A/C units. It's a 30' toy hauler. No W/D hookups. Everything is 110 (I believe). ...

Pine-Tree diagram delta wound transformers can easily be replaced with WYE wound transformers. WYE transformers dominate in the Mexican electrical grids of which there are over four hundred. Very few interties. When a customer demands 3-phase service down here he assumes the cost of buying the transformer, setting power poles precisely to CFE specifications. Then to a CFE customer provided service drop. CFE will then wire down to wires sticking up out of a "mufa" the pipe leading to the breaker box.
I realize that most folks on this forum are more interested in gaining a "George Jetson" electric lifestyle than thinking about what a P.O.S. cooking on an electric stove can be.
But muse this...
A three-phase air conditioner would be so much more efficient, that for the same cost a 20,000 or 25,000 BTU unit would become a reality.
The military insists on 400 Hz systems both for theft resistance and a lot more punch to the pound for generation and end-use.
And if a licensed electrician puzzles over how to wire a 240 stove with neutral, he's a fraud. Run like hell.
I purchased a military-grade 12.5 Kw Kato 3-phase 60Hz single bearing gen head for a song. It demanded a special flywheel drive plate like a number 11 that did not exist in the KATO nor the Kubota inventory. So a professional machinist friend used a CNC end mill to manufacture a custom adapter plate.
I created a custom-built SCOTT CONNECTION with 2 transformers to change 3-phase to single phase 240.
I have encountered so-called professional electricians that couldn't count past ten without unzipping their pants.
