And the plug..

Here's the plug:

These are really only used for semi-fixed appliances i.e. things like cooktops/hobs/ovens etc. So, in general the main reason they exist is to allow someone to install an oven etc without having to call an electrician or have any specialist skills, which is the case here (they're all hardwired to 32A single phase circuits)

~Also, 3-phase appliances are practically unheard of here outside of a commercial environment.

Likewise on my side of the pond. Have only seen one private home (1-family residence) with 3-phase power. (Was owned by an electrician).

The only 3-phase "appliance" is the central air-condtioner. As a matter fo fact, the home has natural gas heating, hot water, cooking and clothes drying.

3-phase power was only available due to the house being in an area zoned industrial/commercial and having such "land-use" nearby. When "220v" here is obtaind from 3-phase source it is called (and is) 110/208v.

I am blisfully unaware of a 3-phase power receptacle for use in a residential setting.

Neat electrical stuff, mrx! I shimmed the cabinet this weekend. Will take pics at the install.
