[time-nuts] Power glitch - Sat morning

Hello timenuts,
just a quick answer from a standard user in DL (living in private house):

In general, Yes!
At the house entry there are always the 3 phases delivered and wired to
the counter.
It is up to the owner how he wires and uses the 3 phase (230/400V 50Hz)
then. For lamps and plugs only 1 Phase is wired, but for bigger
apparatus like kitchen and sometimes washing machines 3 phases are
provided.
In the garage/workshop a use of 3 phases is quite often for machines.
I have as well several 3 Phase wall plugs in the shack.

In Flats one will find only one phase beside for the kitchen.
But the 3 phases are normally wired to the fuse and counter box today.

No, because the 3 phases are generated and provided via 3phase
transformers in the village together (fixed 120°)!
