Correct. There's 240 V between the neutral wire and the phase. That means there's 400 V between three phases. Modern electricity nets are three-phase networks, though monos still exist in some places. My electricity knowledge is a bit rusty though; It's been over three years since I really practised my theoretical knowledge.
