Single Phase and 3 Phase Power


Single Phase power is a two wire Alternating Current (AC) power circuit. Many of the residences in the U.S. use single-phase alternating current electric power supply, which is typically used for powering up lights and household appliances.
Generally, there is one power wire and one neutral wire, and power flows between the power wire (through the load) and the neutral wire. Three Phase power is a three wire Alternating Current (AC) power circuit. Most US commercial buildings use a 3 Phase power arrangement because of its power density and flexibility. Compared to single phase, a 3 Phase power arrangement provides more power with the same current and provides more power circuits.Call Rogoz Electric at 623-363-5648 for all your commercial and residential electrical needs!
