why do mostly prefer to generate and distribute electricity in 3 phase..not in 4 phase or 5 phase.??

Answer Posted / rakesh

We need min 3 ac phases to produce an alternately rotating , self-starting, magnetic field which is basic need to produce EMF and hence generation of power. And for 360 total electrical degree ,there we have 3 , 120 apart degree electrical phase. so no 2 phase production popular, now same may be achived by 4phase 5 phase system , but it needs as many slip rings,coil's, insulation to produce as well as converters,cross arm long increased to convert and transmit

A commercial Building is designed with 14th floor levels with indoor substation of three phase transformer with rated capacity of 1000 Kva.The transformer delivered 65% of its rated capacity at 0.67 power factor lagging.Because of low power factor, the power customer was penalized and certain cost was charged accordingly based on every point percentage lower than 85%.This situation may repeatedly happen on the succeding energy bills of power customer.The power customer is desired to improve its historical power factor of 0.67 lagging and no further penalty be impose by the local power company on the next bill.
