thanks for the link. I've done a bit of research myself and came across this
page
http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/N100973.asp
where is says : "In many cases, the technology works across multiple phases
and circuit breakers."
I wonder what the cases are. I'll send them an email to get more info..
Anyway, thanks for your effort.
Just to conclude this discussion, the system used in my home is that the 3
phases are distributed in the home electrical fusebox, so that each phase
(220V) has more or less equal loads with the others. My home outlets are all
220V with 3 wires( 1 hot, 1 neutral and 1earth with usual
brown-blue -yellow color coding) I do not use any 3 phase aplliance, so I
do not need 380V at all. If I did, I wound have to use all 5 wires to get
the 380V. I have seen some electrical ovens that give the option of wiring
220 single phase or 380 3 phase.
So my living room outlets may be fed from a different phase than my bedroom
outlets , both supplying 220VAC
