> What is the advantage of an inductive stove?
That you can control temperature changes better than with a ceramic hob, on par with methane stoves.
> I think in Europe they work with 360 V
No, normal 230V (or 220V)

1. Better air quality. You don't have combustion byproducts in the kitchen.
2. More efficient than both gas and conventional electric stoves.
3. Faster to heat than gas/conventional electric (due to the efficiency improvement)
4. Easier to clean (except for glass top stoves).
I've yet to own a full-on induction stove, but I do regularly use the 120V induction hot plates in my kitchen. In fact, I use them more than the gas stove that came with my house. I'm eagerly awaiting the day that I have a full induction stove.
But even the portable ones are preferable to gas imo.
Never heard of this. I though 360 with 3 phases.
> For example, in countries with nominal 230 V power, the line voltage is 400 V and the phase voltage is 230 V. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power
In the counter integrated induction simply gets connected with all three phases, which are available in-house anyways.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I learned something new today!
Almost every electrical network is 3 phase distribution, the matter under debate is if you bring every phase to each house, or if a phase reaches every third house.
Anecdotally I have never seen an electrical panel without three phases, but when I went looking it was like trying to find a source for the fact the sky is blue.
They exist. But mostly they are not three phase.
Honestly just browning 4 chicken thighs at once is too much for 240v. (My gas range couldn't do any better!)
We have that particular model because it was literally the only induction cooktop on the market that would fit the existing hole in our stone worktop.
Quite a lot of them can be wired either one, two or three-phase when you look into their installation instructions, it's just that not that many houses have three-phase power and not many people are willing to pay to get that upgraded just for the hob.
