  There’s a difference between the madness of 'Murica and having single phase and three-phase power in an installation

  Never seen 380v in a residential setting. I know theres a circuit for it in my building for the elevator.

    the entire point of three phase circuit is that you can split it into single phase circuits without using too much wire. usually block will be wired so that 1/3 of flats is connected to one phase, but if you need to power big loads like ag tools or something like concrete mixer three phase supply can be done (415V these days, there’s upward shift in voltage)

    Usually in normal households, the electric stove is connected (hard wired) to all three phases (while the individual heating elements use only 230 V) to distribute it’s load.
    Some people may use three-phase connectors for heavy duty tools, such as welding machines, electric saws or log splitters.
