There will need to be very careful wording of phases=2 to avoid American 
mappers misusing this tag for 240v split single phase. This is common 
household wiring for 'hi power' ... 115 v 10 a only gets you 1.15 kw .. 
so for things like stoves 240 v is required. I think there will be 
instances of phase=2 occurring in the USA, possibly many instances.
