Sorry - you misunderstood me.  Our 240V is single phase.  Typical power
to the house is 3-wire - two hot wires and a neutral. Voltage across the
two hot wires, which are opposite phases is 240V and voltage from each
hot to the neutral is 120V.  And yes, 3 phase is pretty much
industrial.  How is your 3 phase set up. Here  two of the three wires
are 120 V to neutral and the third is a "wild" phase that is 180V to
neutral.

What a peculiar concept. Power stations usually generate three-phase AC
with an offset of 120 degrees between the phases. 120 V between one
phase and neutral and 240 V between two phases would suggest 180 degrees.

In Europe we have 230 V for one phase to neutral and 400 V between any
two phases with 120 degrees. Most residential buildings have three
phases plus neutral and our cooker is hooked up to all three. The same
goes for tankless water heaters (usually 27 kW).
