Default 3 phase electrical receptacle on fire, explosions

Ignoramus19762 fired this volley in
:

Can this happen with 240v 3 phase?

My building has only 240v. 800 amps service.


240 VAC (in any phase configuration) is less dangerous than, say 440.

But with 800amps of ability to deliver current, you have a great
potential for plasma-like arcs.

Just protect yourself.
