    Okay -

    • 1, that’s awesome;
    • 2, for what purpose?
    • 3, is it normal for buildings to have 3-phase in split into different single-phase sections? That feels like you could get some iffy stuff from wildly different loads on the different phases.

      we were recording the magnetic fields generated by a high-energy short circuit. we hung a mouse trap from one of the lines, with a lead going to one of the others, so that they fused together when it sprung.

      it is normal here, yes. larger appliances get three phases, and single-phase outlets are split between them as evenly as possible.
