All current is the passage of electric charges from one terminal to another through a conductor so there is no real difference in the type of current that flows in a 3 phase system compared to a single phase system.

Is house current fit for single or three phase motor?
House current is single phase.AnswerIt depends on the system supplying your residence. Most are single phase, but some, such as here in Cyprus, have a three-phase supply as standard.
Why is the amperage in single phase double than of 3 phase?
If I have 1 KW In 3 Phase it will give 1.54 A and In single phase it will give 4.6 AFor cosF 0.9V 415 3 phV 240 1 phIt seems the reason is because the current is carried on more wires. Also, remember that if wattage stays constant, then as voltage increases, current decreases.AnswerIt really depends on the load. Are you assumining the three-phase load to be the same as the single-phase load or, as it is likely to be in practice, three times the value of the single-phase load?But, in either case, the single-phase current will not be double the the three-phase (line) current!The equation for the load current supplying a single-phase is: I = P / (E x power factor)The equation for the line current supplying a balanced three-phase system is: IL = P / (1.732 x E x power factor)If you insert real figures into these equations, (240 V for the single-phase voltage and 415 V for the three-phase line voltage) then you will find that, when the three-phase load is threetimes that of the single-phase load, the supply currents will be exactly the same. On the other hand, if you assume that the three-phase load is exactly the same as the single-phase load, then you will find that the three-phase line current will be one-third that of the single-phase current.
What is the current of 1MVA transformer?
This depends on the voltage, and whether it is a three phase or single phase transformer.
When you have 56KVA available in 3 phase supply how much is your available current in 3 phase and how much in 1 phase?
In three phase: I = (three phase VA) / (sqrt(3) x (phase to phase voltage)) for single phase: I = (single phase VA) / ((phase to neutral voltage)) keep in mine three phase VA = 3 x (single phase VA), and phase to phase voltage = 1.732 x (phase to neutral voltage) Therefore the single phase and three phase currents are the same (ie, the three phase currents are the same in all three phases, or balanced). But don't get available current and available power confused (KVA is not the same as KW).
What are the uses of three phase transformer over single phase and their losses?
For a given load, a three-phase system requires around 75% of the volume of copper required by a corresponding single-phase system and, so, is more economical. A three-phase supply also delivers power more or less continuously, whereas a single-phase supply delivers power in pulses. Finally, three-phase motors are self-starting and physically smaller than single-phase machines of the same power rating.
What is the limit or range of the neutral current in an unbalanced three phase system for it to be regarded as faulty?
The limit or range of the neutral current in an unbalanced three phase system is the third harmonic in single phase non-linear load current is the major contributor to neutral current.
How many different single phase loads can connect to a 3 phase wye systsem?
As many single phase loads as is needed by the installation. The key to loading the three phase wye system is keeping the current equal in all three phases. As the neutral only carries the unbalanced current it is prudent to keep the current as low as possible by equalizing the loads on the phases.
What is single phase ac generator?
It's an electrical generator converting mechanical power into electrical power. The electrical power comes out in the form of single-phase alternating current.
How three phase line current convert in single phase?
The current is the same in the three live wires. The voltage can be described as the line voltage (phase to neutral) or the phase voltage (phase to phase) which is larger by a factor of sqrt(3). So a line voltage of 230 v corresponds to a phase voltage of 400 v.
Single phase and three phase circuit?
Yes, there is a difference between single phase and three phase circuits.
Two phase instruments?
There is no such thing as a two phase instrument. There is only single phase and three phase. You can only have: single phase/ one pole single phase/ two pole three phase/ three pole
What are the advantages of providing alternating current supplies in three phase form over single phase form?
Over all losses are less in three phase AC system compared to 1 phase. For a given load (KW) 1 phase system would draw more current
