Larry are you not the guy that would rather drop a sub panel in every other room but you want to nickle and dime a service? :grin:
Just kidding around.
For my own personal pleasure I would have to install a 3 phase panel when there is a three phase service, I could not sleep to do otherwise.
Let me ask you this.
A 200 amp service panel was destroyed by water damage but the rest of the service is fine.
If you knew the service calcs required no more then 100 amps but the existing service drop, meter and conductors were rated for 200 amps would you save a few bucks and install a 100 amp panel or would you provide a 200 amp panel so the customer has as much capacity as the service conductors will allow?
Well replacing a 3 phase panel with a single phase panel reduces the capacity by one third.
