More information needed - is it a network cable (ethernet) or a 2-phase power supply (unlikely) . .
If single phase - 2 wire service > two wires If single phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 4 wire service > four wires US residential service is usually single phase 3 wire service: Two hots and neutral.
ONLY if you can run a single wire along side the 2-wires. If not, running a 3rd by itself will cause the magnetic field of the wire to overheat (when they're run together, the magnetic fields cancel each other out). Short answer: Probably not. You cannot run a separte wire all by itself if the 8-2 is in a cable assembly. It isn't allowed by code. Technically you could run 8-2 cable, and then a separate #8 within a conduit, overheating will not occur and the wires do not cancell each other out when considering magnetic fields. It is however true that Phase A and Phase B have completely opposite magnetic fields, but overheating still occurs, this is why wires are derated when they are all run in the same conduit.
It sounds like you have a three phase motor that you are trying to put in where you have a single phase 120volt motor. You can purchase a three phase inverter, but the cost will exceed the cost of the new motor sized for the right wiring and voltage.
For a 150 amp service entrance cable, you would typically use 2/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum cable. This size provides the necessary capacity to handle the electrical load of a 150 amp service. It's recommended to consult with a licensed electrician for specific guidance based on your local electrical code requirements.
A #14 copper conductor is rated at 15 amps.
2 wire of pair
2 prong is a hot and neutral and a 4 prong is a 3 phase with a ground wire.3 pole 4 wire meaning 3 hots could be 240 volts or 480 volts
A single-phase cable will have a line and a neutral conductor and, possibly, but not necessarily, an earth (ground) conductor. A high-voltage three-phase cable will have three line conductors. A low-voltage three-phase cable is likely to have three line conductors and a neutral conductor.
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.
The 6 wire FireWire 400 cable includes 2 wires that supply 30VDC power to the device that are left out in the 4 wire cable to permit use of a smaller connector.
In order to answer your question, firstly, we have to accurately establish your supply.Is it 2 phase or 2 wire?2 phase is two active conductors, i.e. 2 live wires with reference to neutral or ground2 wire is single phase, an active and a neutral conductor.2 phase supply is uncommon.Single phase (2 wire) is the more common supply and for installations with large loads three phase, or, more appropriately 3 phase and neutral (4 wire) is used.Please confirm your supply so that a detailed answer can be provided.
2 copper
a Crossover Cable.
A two core cable is used where an earth is not required. A three core cable is used where an earth is requred. Specialised three core cables are available for 3 phase and two-way switching applications.
paired cable contains 2 conductors and a cable containing 3 conductors is called a triad.Used for 3 wire transmitters.

you can network two laptops if you use a crossover network cable.
