Here in the nordic countrys we have a three-phase system. All households
are connected with three live "phase" wires plus one "zero" and possibly one
ground. You obtain 220 volt between "zero" and one of the phases. And 380 volt
between two of the phases. I am no expert on this, but I think that this
is the general idea.
