Why do we generate 3 Phase AC Supply? It is possible to
generate 4 Phase and 5 Phase explain it?

Answer Posted / sathish charles.s

we cant generate 4phase or 5 phase because there equal
displacement b/w the each phase of 120,like R Y B...
phasse angle b/w R-Y,Y-B,B-R=120,

If suppose there is 4 phase then it will be like A B C D,A-
B=90,B-C=90,C-D=90,D-A=90,a-c=180,,,etc phase will create
problem,so we cant generate 4,5 phase....


But i have doubt y cant we generate 2 phase

Is This Answer Correct ?    2 Yes 1 No
