I thought they meant a "two phase" service where the two phases are 120 degrees out of phase instead of 180, like an apartment fed with two poles of a 208V wye with 120V to neutral/ground, which is balanced. If it's just a single phase, you're right.

EU power is ~230V on a single phase and ~400V between phases. So a house usually gets three phases, but the only appliance where the voltage to ground is less than the total voltage is probably the oven.
