Single phase inherently requires less equipment (it's cheaper). Three phase motors are more efficient than single phase.

Single phase and three phase circuit?
Yes, there is a difference between single phase and three phase circuits.
Why delta connection is used in load side?
There are a number of advantages why three phase (delta or Y configuration) is preferred over single phase circuit. The best advantage is that the each of the three lines in a three phase circuit can act as single phase thus effectively getting three single phase circuits in one transmission. Another advantage is whether it's single phase or three phase, the generation is the same, therefore three phase has more practical value. Also, the instantaneous power in single phase falls to zero but in three phase system, the net power from all the phases is continuous.
What kind of electrical savings can be expected between a 3 phase convection oven and a single phase?
Virtually nothing. The only real benefit you would get is if you had three phase vs. single phase fans, and I'm fairly certain even the three phase convection ovens use single phase fans. The oven will be rated at a certain kW usage, which applies whether it's three phase or single phase (...and will be ~ the same). If the three phase convection oven kW usage is slightly lower, it is because it is heating slightly less (so its' kW rating is actually less than the single phase), and vice versa. Insulating factors will have a significantly higher impact on cost savings compared to single vs. three phase in this instance.
How can you use a 3 phase capacitor as a single phase capacitor?
Just use any two of the three terminals that are available, this will give you a single phase capacitor.
What will happen if 2 phase load is connected to generator?
There is no such thing as a two phase load any more. Any two legs from a three phase system are classed as single phase. If this single phase load is connected across the generator it will induce an imbalance in the output voltages of the generator. This is one reason that single phase loads on a three phase generator should be shifted around to find the best possible balance.
What are the advantages of poly phase over single phase?
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 are advantages in THREE phase UPS over SINGLE phase UPS?
You need to match the UPS to the service. If it is three phase you need a three phase UPS, and vice versa for single phase. It isn't a case of being better, it is a situation where you need to match your application.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of single phase and three phase in the electrical supply system?
In Australia most power is generated in 3 phase the split down to single phase wen it reaches individual residences 3 phase power is more efficient to produce. most single phase motors have switching gear and capacitors to help kick a motor on when it starts because single phase power doesn't have enough power to turn over a motor. 3 phase motors are generally simpler and require no starting gear ( normally cheaper to build) Most workshops have 3 phase machinery for the extra power it prvides Some motors can be 2 phase (rare) as well.
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 three advantages and three disadvantages of meiosis?
advantages= you get to have fun doing it :}
What are the three types of phase on its final phase?
single phase, double phase & three phase
What cannot be considered a single phase?
Any load that needs three legs from a three phase system can not be considered single phase. Single phase from a three phase system only needs a connection to two legs.
Can you use this switch for three phase incoming and single phase outgoing?
No A intermediate switch can not be used to change three phase to single phase.
Is the type of wiring in most homes single-phase or three-phase?
Single phase.
What is the difference between a one phase and a three phase motor. And if a three phase motor is given a single phase supply will it run or not?
The difference between a single phase and a three phase motor is the amount of power conductors that feed the device. As to the other part of the question a three phase motor will not start or run on single phase. The phase angles on three phase are 120 degrees apart on a single phase system they are 180 degrees apart.
What are the advantages between 3 phase and 1 phase?
For a given load, a three-phase system uses less volume of copper (therefore is more economical) than a corresponding single-phase system, while supplying approximately-constant power. From the users' point of view, three-phase motors are self-starting and more compact than the equivalent single-phase motor.
