Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is
single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same
load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase
circuit, will be the same.

All high-voltage distribution systems are three-phase.
Single-phase 'spurs' off the main line, supplying, for example,
farm houses, are simply two lines of a three-phase system.

Three phase power is a method of electric power transmission
using three wires. Three phase power systems may have a neutral
wire that allows the system to use a higher voltage while still
allowing lower voltage single phase appliances. In high voltage
distributions, it is not common to have a neutral wire, as the
loads can simply be connected between phases.

The 3 phase electric power is very common way of electric power
transmission. Three circuit conductors carry three alternating
currents the first conductor as reference the other currents are
delayed in time for 1/3 and 2/3 of the cycle of the electrical
currents.

No, you cannot get a three phase supply directly from a single
phase supply.
Nowadays electronic inverter units can be bought that will do
the job. For very low power loads the cost of such invertors is
quite reasonable but for high power loads they are very
expensive.
For high-power industrial uses the most economical solution is
to have a 3-phase service installed by the local electric power
utility company.
