Nearly everywhere in UK has only a single phase supply, it's how the grid in this country is designed.
- Symbiote 3y agoHouses in the UK are connected to a single phase, but a three phase supply is available if it's needed — the cable is in the street, though digging a new trench to connect to it is often costly. Larger users are presumably connected with three phases by default — that primary school in the middle of the housing estate, the retirement home that has several lifts, not-tiny shops, the small block of flats etc.
