A 3 phase supply is the lowest number of phases where a
rotating field is produced. No extra starting controls are
needed (e.g. capacitor start or start windings)
Two phase systems have been used and can produce a rotating
field but it has to use a setup with separate neutrals for
each of the 2 phase. It therefore requires 4 wires to each
motor instead of 3 and it is also not as efficient.
Three phases also has the advantage of the currents in the
nuetral not being the sum of the 3 phase currents. In that
way only a single neutral can be used as the return for any
single phase load on all the 3 phases.

Answer / t lakshmi narayana
Why because two phase supply cannot work.Let us consider 2
phase a,b.If a=0 then b=180 electrical degrees apart. Both
are out of phase i.e net torque is equal to zero.
Electrical degree = 360/phases.
In 2 phase it is 180
In 3 phase it is 120 which gives a torque.

In a 11000/440 V transformer, when any one phase of 11 KV supply fails (ie., single phasing), what happens to the secondary voltage and why?
3 Answers Secure Meters, TCS, Torrent Power,
prove that power consumed in 3 phase delta system is 3 times as compared to 3 phase star system
What is meant by line losses, how do you prevent the losses?
A 230V dc shunt wound motor has an armature resistance of 0,15Ω.When operating on no load at 650 rev/min the armature current is 6A . The motor takes a full load current of 85A. Calculate the full load speed if the field flux is (i) maintained constant (ii)reduced by 0,03
what is the value of current and voltage that our body can resist ?
25 kva 3 phase dg how many current will take per phase , plssssssss reply me
why frequency should be constant?
what is difference between neutral and ground wire?
Even when a particular generator in a generating station is under maintenance we are still able to maintain the same power output. How is this possible? Does the tie line between 2 generating stations have a role to play in it?
