why is power supplied in 3 phase only? why not in 2 or 4
phases?

Answer Posted / vinai

Because Main generating Alternator has 3phase winding...
And phase angle is 120 degree for each...
So that's way we are supplying 3 phase only not a two
phase or four phase...
If possible to wound an alternator like 2(or)4 phase
then may be it's possible for supplying 2(or)4 phase...

why do motors burn out? I understand why adding parallel loads to a power source means more current moves through the circuit, and can destroy circuit elements by overheating. What about when you have a vaccuum cleaner intake flush against a floor, a room fan sitting directly against a wall, or a power drill trying to drill through something too hard?
