Portuguese term or phrase: residencial bifásico

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
