What is 3-Phase Power?

Unlike single-phase, 3-phase power produces three separate wave currents so there is no temporary absence of power.

3-Phase power delivers power at a steady, constant rate and can reach higher voltage levels up to 480V in the USA. This steady stream of power and ability to handle higher loads makes a 3-phase supply ideal for industrial and commercial operations.

More Waves. Less Cost.

A 3-phase circuit provides greater power density than a single-phase circuit so it can deliver the same amperage with smaller size wires making 3-phase more efficient. In fact,compared to single-phase power circuits, 3-phase power circuits provide almost twice the power with the same current while only requiring one additional wire.

Using 3-phase power can save on electrical costs by reducing the current requirements and wire size. Utilizing more power in less space lowers cabling and operating costs, delays capital expenditures and ensures scalability for future infrastructure growth.

With its cost savings and flexibility, it’s easy to see why 3-phase is popular in power hungry high-density IT installations and data centers. Other industrial businesses such as warehouses, fabrication, and manufacturing also benefit from the efficiency offered by 3-phase power.

Which Type of Power is best for Your Business?

First, find out what you have now. The easiest way is by looking at your Electricity Supply Meter. Single-phase power may be listed as single, mono-phase or 1-phase. 3-Phase power may also be noted a tri-phase or polyphase.
