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.

Explain the comparison between dc 2 wire system and ac single phase 2 wire system and ac 3 phase 3 wire system and ac 3 phase 4 wire system?

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.

What is the correct wiring diagram for a 3 wire vs. 4 wire well pump system?

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.
