The power company can leave her alone and simply give her two leads ~ for a grounded single phase hookup.

Nothing that can operate a motor but you could still turn on your lights, heat your water and, of course run your burners if not your microwave.

No motors no motors no motors no motors. No AC No AC No AC No AC No AC. No fridge No fridge NO fridge. No microwave No microwave No microwave.

A grounded single phase hookup is still AC.

But even if it was DC, she could still power an inverter off that DC and supply her own AC.
