Was talking to one of the guys at my office who lives in the sticks.
He said when they put in the electric to his place they told him to
use 4 inch conduit because they needed to run 6 wires. Most houses
only have 3 wires run to their meter, two black/hot wires and one
white/neutral wire and that gives them 220 volt service. But the
electric company told him the service in his area had no neutral so
they had to run three wires into his meter and circuit box AND three
wires back out. All the wires go to a transformer on a pole that's
then connected to the hi-tension system. It's not a three phase
system according to him.

So what's going on with this 3 in and 3 out? Why the 3 wires back
out?
