polyphase system

A polyphase system refers to an electrical power system that uses multiple alternating currents, typically three phases, to distribute electricity efficiently. Each phase carries current that is offset by a specific angle, resulting in a smoother and more balanced power flow. This system reduces energy loss and minimizes the size of conductors, making it ideal for powering large motors and heavy industrial equipment. The three-phase system is the most common, as it delivers consistent power and allows for smaller, lighter infrastructure compared to a single-phase system.
