Australia is run on 230v, +10%/-6%, so three phase "leg to leg" is 400v. The elements I'm looking at are technically not three phase, they will be wired in a wye (or star) configuration, (see image below), which will equate to 3 x 230v elements. I'm basically taking advantage of 3 phase offering...
