General Specifications




   Phase       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Three Phase
 
     Three-phase power contains three simultaneous sinusoidal or other alternating voltage patterns, typically 120° out of phase with each other. Higher power efficiency and smoothness of operation is possible with three-phase operation. Three-phase power is most typically used for industrial or high power motors.
 
   Single Phase
 
     Standard commercial and residential power is single-phase, meaning one sinusoidal or other alternating voltage pattern.
