Thanks for your electrical question Ozgur.
Ozgur, most if not all single family homes in the USA are fed with 120/240 volt single phase power. Three phase power is generally found at commercial and industrial areas, and the voltage is higher, such as 277/480 volt 3-phase. If you have equipment that requires 3-phase power then you may purchase a power converter that will provide the 3-phase power.
