Eli5: What’s the difference between a single phase electric current versus a 3 phased one?
In: 18
More power for the same voltage (per phase) and you can do cool shit with it like turning something and splitting the load across phases. Just don’t grab both at once otherwise you’re more crisp then you would normally be with a single. Good for running some big shit like switchboards or motors. If you include a neutral you can drain the unbalanced load in a safer manner.
