Tel : Tel : Experimental high-phase-order transmission lines have been built with up to 12 phases. These allow application of Extra High Voltage EHV design rules at lower voltages , and would permit increased power transfer in the same transmission line corridor width.
Residences and small businesses are usually supplied with a single phase taken from one of the three utility phases. Individual customers are distributed among the three phases to balance the loads. Single-phase loads such as lighting may be connected from an energized phase to the circuit neutral, allowing the load in a large building to be balanced over the three supply phases. The phase offset of the line-to-neutral voltages is degrees; the voltage between any two live wires is always v3 times between a live and neutral wire.
See the article Mains power systems for a list of single-phase distribution voltages around the world; the three-phase line-to-line voltage will be v3 times these values. In North America, residential apartment blocks may have volt line to neutral , Volt line to line distribution. Need help? Sign In. Brands Hellermann Tyton Signamax Inc.

Single-phase loads Large air conditioning, etc. Resistance heating loads such as electric boilers or space heating may be connected to three-phase systems. Electric lighting may also be similarly connected. These types of loads do not require the revolving magnetic field characteristic of three-phase motors but take advantage of the higher voltage and power level usually associated with three-phase distribution.
Fluorescent lighting systems also benefit from reduced flicker if adjacent fixtures are powered from different phases. Large rectifier systems may have three-phase inputs; the resulting DC current is easier to filter smooth than the output of a single-phase rectifier.
Such rectifiers may be used for battery charging, electrolysis processes such as aluminum production, or for operation of DC motors. An interesting example of a three-phase load is the electric arc furnace used in steelmaking and in refining of ores. In much of Europe stoves are designed for a three phase feed.
Usually the individual heating units are connected between phase and neutral to allow for connection to a single phase supply. In many areas of Europe, single phase power is the only source available.
