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). Ralf -- Ralf R.
