What is the reason we just do transmission power only in three phase why not in 10 phase or 20 phase or 6 phase.

Hi Guest!

a lot of discussions had been set up about your question! but what I can tell you that the industry experts and scientists has concluded that the three phase power system is the most efficient, the less complexity and less construction charge in comparison with the other power systems ......

Boiled down: fewest number of conductors for a poly-phase system.

Every designing of the transmission power, motors, electrical equipemnts by the industry experts, engineers and scientists and whatever or whoever that do the designing had to consider the cost of investment, the reutrn of investment and many other factors including the simplest way of working, so that, it make thing easy for everyone to use it. That why 3 is the best and so that how they comeout with 3 phase.
