Really? Where is this? What city and country is it that "3ph present in almost if not every household"? I am curious.
Yansi:
Germany, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, (probably even others) all those very likely have 3ph present everywhere. haven't seen a single 1ph distribution transformer anywhere in my entire life. Always 3ph, always 3ph wiring, either cables in ground or hanging on the poles.
Small flats tend to be connected only single phase (due to small power requirements), but to get three, you just pay few bucks more to get the electricity meter change out to 3ph, three phase low voltage power is readily present in the incoming distribution cabling.
soldar:
Nonsense. I have traveled and lived in Europe, USA, Asia, etc. and there is no country in the world where there is "3 phase supply in almost every household". I do not know where you live but there are people from many countries on this board who, I am sure, will confirm what I am saying.
Yansi:
No, you do not know nothing, bro. Can you give example, where in Germany, or for example CZ is a place, where there is not 3ph available?
Having a 3ph available in household does not mean you have a 3ph outlets placed in your living room.
And as a plain tourist, you won't likely ever see how stuff is wired here.
soldar:
The notion that anywhere in Europe, indeed anywhere in the world, there is "3 phase supply in almost every household" is ludicrous. Saying it is "available in every household" means it is already wired and installed. That is nowhere true. If by available you mean you can pay to have it wired and delivered then that is just as true in America as it is in Europe. I do not know what idea you have of America but I assure you they have 3 phase over there too. At least they did in the parts where I lived.
I travel in Europe regularly for business and pleasure and I know what domestic "household" installations are like in most European countries. In fact I was in Prague just some months ago (lovely city BTW) and stayed at an RB&B and exchanged some conversation with the apartment owner about some wiring problem he was having in the bathroom where he had installed a clothes washer in a less than perfect way.
Again, maybe posters here from other countries can confirm or deny.
