Just on the three phase business...... Just because it may have been plugged into a three phase outlet doesn’t mean that the appliance in question was or is a three phase appliance. A three phase outlet can have 5 pins these particular outlets have a neutral! Any phase and neutral with give you 240v! (Single phase)

The applicance in question may have a plug and lead setup, this would allow the appliance to be used at any nearby outlet. (The plug and lead being either a 3 pin or 5 pin but only utilizing 240v)

Just my 2 cents from another life! That life use to pay a lot better!
