why 3 phase motors are preferable over single phase motors ?

Answer Posted / @vi

1.Reduction in the motor size: For the same capacity single
phase motors size is larger than 3 phase motors.
2.To deliver the same load, three phase motors draw less
current than single phase motors, Hence this will make the
reduction in the conductor size, insulation requirement and
heating effect.
3.Three phase motors are self starting where as single phase
motors require some kind of starting method.

As we use capacitor bank in 3ph ckt to improve PF, can we use capacitor in single ph domestric use, in house we have Fan,Mixer,electric cooker,iron,tube choke they also lag the system,because it is inductive load. if it is possible to improve PF of single ph system-- if yes- type of capacitor to be used,connection diagram, working in detail. if no-- list it.
