why? The benefits of 3-phase power are really only used by factories with lots of large electric motors. 3 phase has no benefit for resistance heating.

You can move more power per conductor with three conductors than with two.

As a sidenote, my apartment has a 3x63A main fuse. Three-phase is everywhere here. Really convenient for ev charging too.

Delivering 100 amps over 240 volt is not an issue.
