Which has little to do with what one needs for an emergency
generator. *It's not the service that counts. *It's what you chose
to have powered during a power loss.

* I have 200A. *I did fine with a 6KW. * A friend has 300A.

* *Whoopee. I had over a megawatt at the last tower site I worked at. *A
half meg was for one station, the other was five FM stations, the
forestry service, 60 trunked radio base stations and the FBI's regional
base stations. *We kept over a week's supply of diesel on hand at all
times.

Gee, and here the rest of us thought we were talking about
an emergency generator for a house.

*He got by fine with a 4500KW

* *Some people have more needs than others, but an asshole like you just

More than one.

They each need a seperate furnace? *Appliances? *Sump
pump?

*Hell, why not run the furnace and AC at the same time too.

* *You're the only one who is stupid enough to do that in a home, but
it's done for humidity control in some commercial buildings.

I've seen homes with electric start power plants that will provide
? 400A 208 three phase.

Sure you have.

* *yawn................... *I repaired the controls after a lightning
strike, repaired their gate controls, installed a new master TV antenna
system and their C-band Satellite TV system. *I guess that you've never
know any multi millionares with a nice home.

Having joined a major silicon valley company in the

*I know one really, really well.

Or were trusted enough to

Now we're getting to your pay grade.

**The last I heard was that they had closed the

nursery and were cleaning the land to build 500 new homes, self
financed. *Well, it looks like the widow sold the land to Centrex after
he died:

* *He and his wife also owned the number one country nightclub in
Orlando for a couple decades:

Wow! *They owned a whole frigging country nightclub in Orlando?
Why didn't you say so sooner? * * Now I'm
really impressed! *Is that what needed 400 amps in an outage?
To run that big old honking disco ball?

? They also had diesel powered water pumps for each of the 14" water wells
? for their nursery that they would fire up during power outages.

A home with a 400A service, nursery and multiple 14" wells with diesel
pumps? * *Around here we call that a business or a farm, not a
residence.

* *Actually, it was a private residence that was next door to a few
thousand acre nursery. *Both had their own electric services & wells.
The house was three story and had an elevator that ran on three phase..
Let's see you run that with your toy.

LOL. *You must think we're really dumb here.
We have residences around here that are three story
and have an elevator. *And let
me assure you, it does not take a 400A, three phase service
to run an elevator, fool. *In fact, they don't require anything
extraordinary at all. *Nothing more than a stove or central
AC. * You really don't have a grasp on power issues at all,
do you? *But feel free to keep digging yourself a deeper
hole. *It's amusing.

*They also had six other houses on
the property that existed when they bought other large farms. *Each of
those had their own electric service as well. *They were all rented by
people who worked at their nursery.

Who the hell cares. * Just further proof that you've commingled a
business, multiple residences and God knows what else
into one abortion, then pretend a house needs 400A three phase.

What a marooon!

"Wow! *They owned a whole frigging country nightclub in Orlando?"

Read the article and check where out where the country nightclub
Terrell is bragging about is located:

Any idea how bad South Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando is?

This pretty well sums it up:

LOL. That's a hoot. And about that he's bragging? That 400A
three phase must have been to light up all the red lights and the
disco ball.
