If you are referring to a.c. three-phase systems, then a three-wire system is associated with a delta-connected system, while a four-wire system is associated with a star, or wye, system. The conductors being three line conductors and a neutral conductor.
Use the 4 wire if possible. You would only use a 3 wire for an old appliance.You shouldn't if possible. The 3 wire has no neutral wire as the 4 wire does. Som applications require the use of a 3 wire and some don't.
2 wire.3 wire nd 4 wire...rtd... 3 wire rtd is widly used....hv good accuracy...
how to calculate m.f. of energy meter 3 phase 4 wire h.t. & l.t.
It is written 3 ph 4 w.
If it is a 480v 3 pH machine, #4 wire will be fine.
of all of dem 3 phase 3 wire is most economical as it uses less conductor dan in 4 wire system, 3 phase 3 wire is used in transmission and 4 wire in distribution as it has 3 live and one neutral wire. 3 phase needs lesser conductor size than 2 phase 4 wire for the same power. 3 wire dc feeder is more economical than 2 wire dc feeder for the same power. that was all i cud get..... hope u find it a lil helpful.

In a 3-wire well pump system, the pump motor is connected to three wires: one for power, one for ground, and one for the start capacitor. In a 4-wire system, an additional wire is used for the start capacitor. The correct wiring diagram will show how to connect these wires to the pump motor and power source for proper operation.
Buy a 3 wire cord for your dryer.
Use the 4 wire if possible. You would only use a 3 wire for an old appliance.You shouldn't if possible. The 3 wire has no neutral wire as the 4 wire does. Som applications require the use of a 3 wire and some don't.
There are usually 3 or 4 terminals. If only 3, then each wire is hot with respect to ground. If there are 4, then one wire is considered neutral.
The amp rating for a 4/3 wire is typically around 100 amps.
A delta connected appliance can be connected to a 3-phase system by leaving the neutral unconnected. The appliance must be properly earthed.
It has 4 and there all screwed into the exhaust system/pipes. They are about 3 to 4 inches long with an electric wire going to them.
The recommended gauge for 18/4 thermostat wire in a residential HVAC system is typically 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
It is more accurate, a 4 wire is more accurate than 3 wire and 3 wire is more accurate than 2 wire.
STAR connection is best suit for 3 phase 4 wire seviceas there is a neautral wire is there in this connection
