if you think you have actual 220 running into your home... guess what... lol   you actually have two 110 lines which are combined to make the 220. The psu's mostly can handle either, yes, and 220 is more efficient in general... but what most don't realize is that your amp rating install is the limit. You get 100 or 200 amp service usually...just because you install 220v circuits, means nothing towards running more neptunes. But ok...I don't know what I'm talking about.... lol.. believe what you want. I have too many installs under my belt to buy that load of crap.
200 amp service with 220 means you have two lines of 110 @ 100amp each. that's it. Running a psu at 220v doesn't change the amount of power ran to your home. lol

We have actual, 3 phase 240v service from our main panel here. ~1400A total capacity @ that voltage

I'm wiring my house with 6 x 30-amp 240v circuits to handle my mining equipment. I'm more worried about cooling to be honest  

Yes, I think the low end, efficient, window AC by Haier got bumped by $30-$50 after the summer.  Went looking the other day.

30 amps at 240v is 7kW. Six of them would be 43kW.  That's 40 btu per second - or 146,722 btu per hour.

A 'low end' window AC isn't going to do much.

You just need a lot of ventilation - replace hot air with air from outside, as long as it's less then 70C outside you'll be fine.

well, I hope the Neptunes are 220 for your sake.... lol  bold...doing that without knowing...

It's not bold at all. Almost everything that runs off 110 will run off 220 or 240v with the correct PSU. He's smart, as 220-240v is more efficient and he will be able to handle more Neptunes. You obviously don't have a firm grip on household electricity yet.

If the Neptunes are 220-240vac, he's okay.  If they run at 115vac they'll draw twice the current each.  If he has power into a room that via 12-3, it can be broken down into 115vac outlets some with L1 as hot and some as L2 as hot but the return on the 12-3 has a single neutral.  If Neptunes are to be run at 115vac (unlikely but possible) he could put 2 in series in a McGiver sort of arrangement.  That would keep the current down.  

Oh and one would not plan to run 12-3 or 10-3 to be split into 115vac outlets.  

And sorry Phoenix, I think two 115vac do not add up to 230vac.  Although only 2 phases come into a home they are generated in 3 phases I think.  They do not add up as 1 + 1 = 2.

hahahaha.. really?   guess you don't know that two 110 lines make 220 in america....  don't have a grasp eh?  You know I wired my house...right? the neighbors house... and a few others...  all of which passed inspection by the county 1st time round. Not to mention the commercial installs. I frequently worked under a licenced Electrical contractor, and he will sign anything i do
Just sayin

on another note...
Good thing no miners here ATM...
My new 200 amp service line took a direct lightning strike last night 
It blew every breaker in the house, both live phases
It exploded a 20 amp power strip, blew my desktop, microwave, and left a
3 inch long exploded hole in the new conduit. It struck on the portion
of the line we had not been able to bury yet. The mains are literally in pieces.
After calling the power company, they come and find that my transformer is also blown.
They patched me into a local transformer down the street a bit, but only one phase
is still working with a huge exposed/blackened hole in the conduit for now until I
can fix this mess. oh boy. 
So far I was able to get a set of dual 100amp switches for the mains and a
microwave oven (Gotta warm that coffee) to get going
Installing all new 2-2-2 in conduit is gonna be fun I have no way of
splicing the hit portion of the service line   do I?

Pretty sure I don't need to say anymore...don't trust just anybody for electrical advice, especially on the internet. In fact, if you THINK you aren't SURE about something electrical, hire a contractor. Your wife will thank you when the insurance actually covers the fire rather than them blaming your own shoddy handiwork.

They simply don't offer that here
but 1400 amps? in a house? huh?  never heard of it. each phase is typically 100a
good luck

More ignorance. Talk to your power company and they can probably pull 3 phase to your house (if you have commercial area for it on your property, there is no reason to have 3 phase at a house unless your draw is at least 20,000 KWH per month in my opinion--at which point you aren't really "living in the house").

I live off a state route in the middle of nowhere and my power company was able to get me 3 phase (at this point, you can pretty much get as many amps as you want at the location).

Yep--exactly, you can get more. 3 phase is on it's own meter (special), as are any additional runs to residential. So you simply don't *want* another 200 amp meter, not that you can't get more.

so far, 6 grand in damage, still counting. Thank the powers that be...  all data is okay...  I have 6tb of video that has taken 10 yrs to collect

3 phase would not have changed a thing in your situation, but a whole house lightning suppression system (they're inexpensive to some extent) would have. I install them standard on anything I do.

Well, the lightning rods were untouched by the lightning...   I think I know what attracted it to the service line .... The radio fence wire crosses the service line right where it struck... or at least it used to... it vaporized...  for several meters.. and yes... I left it on during the storm...oops.. and before you say it... ill admit to ignorance on that one.
