SINGLE-PHASE
Single-phase electric
power is the distribution
of alternating current
electric power using a
system in which all
voltages of supply vary
in unison.
3-PHASE
Three-phase electric
power is a common
method of alternating
current electric power
generation,
transmission and
distribution.

Save up construction cost, can use smaller electrical services,
wiring, conduits and electrical devices
Lessened energy lost as electrical current
resistance would lessen energy cost
Cheaper labor cost
Prevent power outburst with too much of currents required
to be supplied, no need to deal with damages

Big electric motors ( more than 2 kilowatt) need
three-phase power
Large domestic installation have three-phase to ensure
current in each phase is lower.

Editor's Notes
I will now talk about single phase diagram. The energy come from distribution transfomer and goes to energy meter and the energy is tranferred to MCB which is miature circuit breaker this breaker is to guard the eletrical current from overheating and the usage of neutral link is to withstand high current and to protect it from damage. The copper bus bar is for collecting electric power from the incoming feeders and distributes them to the outgoing feeders
the differences between single phase and 3 phase is that 3 phase is using the MCCB which distribute the electric current in the building and it transferred to MCB and RCD while single phase does not have MCCB and RCD. Furthermore, single phase require 2 wire while 3 phase require 4 wire to complete the circuit.
