You must not be familiar with North American power systems. I would bet the op had single phase service providing 220 or 240 volt service.

Oh, I see. Yeah, well, okay, that's basically nothing. Seems like the country isn't really on a good path for electrifying things, then. How do they use any large electric motors at home?

Living in the boonies - I could get 3 phase, 400V, 100A for 800€, that's 120kW. Yes, we're paying a lot per kWh but the grid quality is okay-ish.
