Hi All, 200 Amp single phase service is fairly common in the US (my present and last house has this service) so I know at least that much is possible.
Separately, I posted sources for a couple of 180 degree combiners useful for differential probes at www.dsmith.org as this month's article. Last month's article was on measuring high frequency performance of small inductors and is archived under the Technical Tidbits section.
