Eli5: What’s the difference between a single phase electric current versus a 3 phased one?
In: 18
If a house has both single and 3 phase power to it (due to renovation and extension of an old house) and there is a power blackout in the area, it is possible to lose lights in some rooms but not power points and lose power points but not lights in others?
Odd question, I know, but the rare occasion that power goes off in my street I get some things working and others not but my neighbours are all powerless. The builder I used told me it was due to different phase power coming into the building…..
Does this make sense?
