Hi all,
I'm translating an electricity bill and wasn't sure what we'd put for this:
Nota fiscal - CONTA DE ENERGIA ELÉTRICA
Classificação: ***Residencial bifásico***; Medição ....; Datas de Leitura....;
Sorry I haven't got any more context.
Alternate Current??? Duel fuel (unlikely as this is from Brazil)??
Thanks in advance

standard service
Residential bills, at least in the States, do not mention the number of phases since the service is standard.

: "residencial bifásico" is not "standard service" in Brasil and this is a translation from Portuguese
