You’re off by an order of magnitude: 200 * 240 = 48000

Three-phase power isn’t only for industrial use, (in the United States) small commercial buildings will have a 208v three-phase service drop and larger commercial buildings will have a 480v service drop, or 13.8kV medium voltage drop if it’s big enough. Large enough industrial customers will have dedicated substations.
