AC phase questions

Hi !
Phase Load requirements;
If load is 3 phase both supply and transformer must be 3-phase.
If load is single phase,the supply can be either single or 3-phase,but the transformer must be single phase. The frequency is usually 60 Hz.:)



What a facinating world we live in:cool:

Hey Capt Killjoy,
The input electrical to your house, and from your generator is single phase. The devices used are wired single two, three, or thousand phase. The wiring to an outlet is always single phase. the wiring inside of the device, in particular motors, are wired to operate on a three phase signal. If necessary. The capability to have multi-phase devices is the center tapped, or multi-tapped transformer as the supply.
