Not necessarily.
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.
The cheapest service to construct is a single phase service. A three phase service requires more equipment and materials to complete a service.
Yes, you can use three single phase transformers on three phase applications and interconnect them to serve as a single transformer or you could use one single phase transformer fed from two of the three lines in a step down application.
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 inherently requires less equipment (it's cheaper). Three phase motors are more efficient than single phase.

Single phase supply alternates like a sign wave, from negative to positive, producing a less reliable source of power, where as three phase is effectively three lots of single phase source, within the time of a standard single phase source. Each of the three phase sources are 120 degrees out of phase, producing a more consistent power source which can carry greater loads.
Three phase electricity is used instead of single phase for industrial situations. Industries use three phase electricity instead of single phase to operate electric motors driving heavy machinery. Three phase electrical motors produce more power from the same amount of electricity and maintain steadier speed. Small portable motors such as drills and mixers use single phase. Motors used around the house are single phase. Motors used to run large industrial machines use three phase.

A three-phase generator is more efficient and provides a more stable power output compared to a single-phase generator. It is also capable of handling heavier loads and is often used in industrial settings where high power demands are required.
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.

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.
A single-phase supply is obtained between any two line conductors or between a line and neutral conductor of a three-phase supply. To obtain a three-phase supply from a single-phase source is far more difficult, and requires additional equipment.
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.
