In the UK at least normal domestic ovens use the standard single phase power
supply, they just usually have a dedicated cable and breaker at 40A or
whatever. Ditto with electric showers. On commercial sites it's quite
common as a lot of even small industrial equipment is designed for 3 phase.
At work we have a 1m^3 enviromental chamber that runs off a 3 phase 20A
supply, has one of those big chunky round plugs that makes you feel like it
actually does something :-)
However I heard in Germany that it's quite common to have 3-phase delivered
to your house, so maybe some more powerful devices make use of this? I don't
know, will need to investigate at home :-)
