why 3 phase is preferred than 1 phase?

Answer Posted / vinodh.t,sathavahana ispat ltd

1.constant power :in single phase power varies sinosoidally
from zero to a peak value at twice the supply
frequency.this pulsating nature of power is objectionable
for many application in 3 phase the poiwer supplied at all
instants of time is constant
2.the output of a 3phase machine is greater than that of a
single phase machine for a given volume and weight of
machine.
3.the 3 phase motor are much smaller and cheap than single
phase
