In the US maybe, in Europe (The Netherlands at least) three phase power to the home is the norm. Split phase is weird to me...

Yep, I was speaking about the US. Didn't know that about Europe. In the US three-phase power is only seen in commercial or industrial installations. I know a machinist who has a lathe in his home workshop that requires three-phase power. He can't get it from the utility so he makes his own by using a single-phase electric motor to drive a three-phase motor as a generator.
