I think the incorrect term '2 phase' is the split single phase (or
single phase 3 wire) that the Americans use, 120 v from 'neutral' to
either line but 240 v from line to line and that 240 v is termed '2
phase' despite the fact that it is a single phase. All of these lines
are supposed to float - no connection to earth is supposed to be made.

Jherome,
... Having spent some time in the electrical industry (in the U.S.)
my understanding is there is no such thing as "2 phase", only single
phase and three phase.
In terms of supply to premises, you're going to get single phase or
3-phase, but I think that you can still get minor power lines carrying
just 2 phases (e.g. to 2 houses, each single phase) can't you?
Best Regards,

(who hasn't actually done any 3-phase wiring in 40 years, so it might
have changed a bit since then!)
