3 phase basically gives you more power (maximum draw at any single time) with added consistency/stability of power as it load balances on separate phase, which are crucial when you are running heavy tools with big electrical motors that can't afford to skip a beat.
It's not usually for a residential setting unless you have some serious workshop that draws huge powers. However, just about any industrial and farm with warmhouse would have 3phase power in them, so they aren't exactly rare.
It's just BC Hydro being a bitch when one tries to request a lot of power, which I personally don't understand. They are in business to sell power, and yet, it almost seems that they are afraid that one requests too much power.
