Where do they have 110 V~ ??? North America. Here we have a 240/120V distribution system. You'd use 120 for small appliances, lighting etc. and 240 for heavy appliances such as stoves etc. The power feed to homes is 240V with a grounded center tap or neutral, so there's 120V either side of neutral.
Dual phase? Curious.
