Even though our transmission is three-phase, most homes in the US only get single-phase power.

US isn't single phase.

I sell and run union electrical work for a living in the United States.
Residential power in the US is 120/240V single-phase (split phase). Utility distribution is three-phase and virtually every commercial and industrial electrical service is three-phase, with the rest being 120/240V single-phase.
