I did the same thing as @Nef when I saw your post. It would be very unusual to have 3 phase in a domestic setting in the UK. I've seen it in 6 storey houses in Mayfair but it immediately spilts to separate single phase distribution boards.
Our plugs have fuses to protect the cable between the plug and accessory, otherwise an overcurrent fault could cause the cable to overheat and catch fire. I think the UK is unusual in this respect but don't know why it's not normal elsewhere.
