Actually the Perilex in the kitchen really is supposed to be a 3 phase connection. If 3-phase is available in the house it is typically (but not always) connected that way. (in both my current and previous house the Perilex connection in the kitchen was 3 phase. If a 3 phase connection is NOT available in the house the "2 fuses hooked to 1 plug" is an alternative method. Never connect anything to a Perilex without confirming the actual connection and wiring of the device you're plugging in because these are both approved ways of using them and they're not compatible but use the same socket/plug.
