It would depend on the specific equipment being used in the commercial kitchen. Industrial appliances such as commercial stoves, ovens, or mixers may require a 3-phase 20A socket for sufficient power supply. It is recommended to consult an electrician to determine the specific power requirements of the kitchen equipment.
A three-phase motor typically has three sets of windings arranged 120 degrees apart around the stator core. It is larger and more robust compared to single-phase motors, with a more complex wiring configuration. The motor may have six leads coming out of it, instead of just two like in single-phase motors.
In Europe they have both single phase and three phase.
No, most residential and small commercial refrigerators operate on a single-phase power supply. However, larger commercial refrigerators or industrial refrigeration systems may require three-phase power for increased efficiency and power capacity.
This is normal practice - but the loading of each phase should be roughly equal. In the UK, electricity is distributed as 3-phase but domestic premises only ever have single phase supply - in any street, the houses will be connected in roughly equal numbers across each phase.
In three phase: I = (three phase VA) / (sqrt(3) x (phase to phase voltage)) for single phase: I = (single phase VA) / ((phase to neutral voltage)) keep in mine three phase VA = 3 x (single phase VA), and phase to phase voltage = 1.732 x (phase to neutral voltage) Therefore the single phase and three phase currents are the same (ie, the three phase currents are the same in all three phases, or balanced). But don't get available current and available power confused (KVA is not the same as KW).
The cost of this installation will vary greatly around the world. Get an estimate from your local contractor in your area. You will need to have the voltage and amperage of the service that you want to have installed.
yes . A change of motor would be required. The motor windings would have to be totally different. three hot leads instead of two. And three phase would have to come from your provider.
Without a proper converter, no you can not. The consequences would be damage to the equipment, wireing, fire, and possible injury or death. Don't do it. Have a single phase outlet installed.

commercial building
Installing a 3-phase air conditioner in a commercial building offers benefits such as higher energy efficiency, better cooling capacity, and more reliable operation compared to single-phase units.
Three phase power is widely available in commercial/industrial establishments in America. 3-phase not typically available in homes.
Yes, a 3-phase circuit installed near a sink in a commercial kitchen typically requires Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breakers to enhance safety. This is due to the increased risk of electrical shock in wet environments, as GFCIs are designed to protect against ground faults by shutting off power when an imbalance is detected. Local electrical codes and regulations may also mandate the use of GFCI protection in such locations. Always consult with a licensed electrician to ensure compliance with applicable codes.

Very unlikely. Its 3 phase for a reason, it needs a large voltage/current to power it, single phase won't provide that.
When dealing with a 3 phase power supply the safe clearance zone between each phase is usually within an arms reach, there are exceptions to this rule like a 3 phase socket or a distribution board.
