European power's mostly distributed as 3-phase
Interestingly, in europe power's generally distributed in one of two ways:
4 Wires run around the neighbourhood from a large transformer. 3 phases and 1 neutral.
Each residential unit takes 1 of the phases + the neutral. They spread the load over the 3 phases, with each house taking a different phase.
The odd large home, or home with a workshop etc will take full 3-phase power.
This is the usual way power's distributed in Ireland and the UK etc.
or b) Most houses take full 3 phase power spreading the load across all the phases.
This tends to be more common in Germany etc
