The primary advantage is that, for a given load, a three-phase system requires less copper for tranmission/distribution than an equivalent single-phase system would require. Other advantages include the fact that three-phase machines are smaller than single-phase machines of similar rating.

What year did Nikola Tesla invent electricity?

Nikola Tesla did not invent electricity, but he did come up with the poly phase AC system which the world runs on today. I believe he had the notion in his head long before a formal patent application was applied for. I believe 1887 he started work in his new laboratory and within a few months was able to apply patents on the entire poly phase system. (single phase, two phase, and three phase wiring)


What are the advantages of using poly over epoxy in certain applications?

Polyurethane (poly) has advantages over epoxy in certain applications due to its flexibility, impact resistance, and ability to withstand UV exposure. Polyurethane is also more resistant to abrasion and chemicals compared to epoxy, making it a better choice for applications that require durability and flexibility.

Why DC electricity does not have poly phase?

There is no such thing as phase in DC as phase requires AC. To have two or more things out of phase requires them to be changing. Only AC does that. DC is steady state.

Can you put flat poly over satin poly?

Yes. Sand the satin poly with fine sandpaper to remove the gloss, then coat with the flat poly.


Who invented ac motor?

Nikola Tesla invented the poly-phase induction motor in 1883.


Why is 3 phase more efficient?

There are a few reasons. In my opinion the most common is cost. In an industrial setting, three phase power is used to power motor loads. A three phase induction motor is more efficient than a single/split phase motor. They also have higher starting torque. A three phase load will also typically have a lower amp rating for the same size load as single phase. This saves money because you can use smaller wire.


What is the difference between a commercial electrician and a residental electrician?

A residential electrician works primarily in homes. Normally working with single phase power. A commercial electrician works primarily on projects for businesses or government. This could include office buildings, shops, hospitals and more. This also normally means working with poly phase power. There are also industrial electricians. These electricians primarily work in industry. In a factory, plant, mill and so on. They also work with poly phase power, normally at much higher capacities for voltage, amperage, and wattage.
