What advantages do three phase motors have over single phase motors?

What will be an ideal response?


The advantages that three phase motors have over single phase motors are:

• They are easily reversible. The direction of rotation can be changed by interchanging any two supply voltage lines.

• There is less running torque pulsation because at least one phase is always producing an induced rotational effect on the rotor.
• They have higher starting torque because each winding is out of phase with the other windings and produces rotational torque.

• They have higher efficiency.
