Question

Accepted Answer

Single phase and three phase are two types of electrical power distribution systems.

Single phase has one live conductor and one neutral conductor, while three phase has three live conductors and one neutral conductor.
Single phase is commonly used in residential and small commercial applications, while three phase is used in industrial and large commercial applications.
Single phase power supply is suitable for low power loads, while three phase power supply is suitable for high power loads.
Three phase power provides a more balanced and efficient distribution of electrical power compared to single phase.
Examples of single phase devices include household appliances, lighting, and small motors, while examples of three phase devices include large motors, industrial machinery, and data centers.
