we use 3 phase supply for induction motor why not use two
phase supply .
Answer Posted / kj
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.

1. The DC generaror,s induced output emf is connected with a DC motor(as load). when increasing the load of the motor by using brake drum or any way. what are the parameters will changes in both motor and generator(voltage, current, resistance, frequency, speed, torque, power, flux etc...) 2. Similarly for AC generator and AC motor 3. similarly if using DC batteries instead of DC generator, What happens?
