Default Phase convertors?

I hear a lot about phase converters on this news group. Is this because 3
phase power is not readily available in North America? I was born in Canada
and I think I recall that electric stoves ran on 2 phase power. Is this
correct,or has my old age overcome my memory? Here in Australia, 3 phase
power is available pretty well everywhere if you are willing to pay for it
to be installed.( Even in domestic locations). Is this not the case over
there?

Tom
