Electric Pro Academy Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
Residences in the United States typically have a singlephase 120240V system for electrical power, but somehow this house was given a hybrid threephase 120208V system with some singlephase 120240V power as well?! Not only did Jefferson identify the anomaly, which was missed by an inspector and an engineer, but they were also tasked with remediating the issue and upgrading the service to 400amps for this large home with electric vehicle charging needs. Here’s how the pros safely fix a highpower, utilityrelated situation with efficiency & thoroughness.
