AnswerWhereas most countries have single-phase residential supplies, some countries, such as Cyprus, often have three-phase supplies. The main distribution panel ('consumer unit') must be designed and assembled to accommodate either a single-phase supply or a three-phase supply; you cannot use a single-phase distribution panel with a three-phase supply.
600v is a three phase service, where 347v is the L-N voltage (if grounded).
No. Three phase service is something that you would need to request from your power company. You'd need to not only have service, you also need to have an electrician run 3 phase service into your home.
The cheapest service to construct is a single phase service. A three phase service requires more equipment and materials to complete a service.
With no three phase power supply you can't use a three phase motor of any kind at all!
For low-power appliances you can buy an electronic power inverter which produces 3-phase outputs from a 1-phase (single phase) service. Such inverters are not cheap to buy so you must decide if it is best to buy an equivalent appliance that runs on 1-phase instead of trying to use a 3-phase appliance on a 1-phase supply using a power inverter. Note: For mains power any 1-phase service is usually obtained by using just one phase of a 3-phase service that comes in overhead or underground cables from the generating station. The power company typically supplies a given neighborhood with a 3-phase service and distributes it as separate 1-phase services, one phase per property or group of properties, so that each property gets a supply of single-phase power. If the owner requires it, it is usually possible to pay the power company to provide a 3-phase service into a house or any other type of property - such as an engineering workshop, vehicle repair garage, etc. - which may need a 3-phase service for machinery or other equipment. +++ An advantage of using an inverter is that many are available with reversing and speed-control, so ideal for driving lathes and similar. Moreover, the machine runs more smoothly: in my own case the noisy resonance of a lathe's welded cabinet stand when running with a single-phase motor stopped entirely when I fitted a 3ph motor and inverter to the same mountings.

It must be a three phase supply service to run a three phase motor.

You need three phase power to get three phase power. If you only have one phase, you will need some kind of inverter or motor-generator set. Generally, however, the demands of a three phase motor will exceed the capability and efficiency of these "tricky" solutions. It is best to simply contact your local power company and have them provide the proper three phase power to your facility.
No, you cannot get a three phase supply directly from a single phase supply. Nowadays electronic inverter units can be bought that will do the job. For very low power loads the cost of such invertors is quite reasonable but for high power loads they are very expensive. For high-power industrial uses the most economical solution is to have a 3-phase service installed by the local electric power utility company.
You will need to determine the power per phase, and add them up to give the total power of the three-phase load. To do this, you will need to multiply the phase-voltage by the phase current by the power factor -for each phase.
If single phase - 2 wire service > two wires If single phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 4 wire service > four wires US residential service is usually single phase 3 wire service: Two hots and neutral.
You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.
