Electric motors are divided into single-phase and three-phase by their supply. The difference between the two types directly determines power level, efficiency and field of use.

Single-Phase Electric Motors

Single-phase motors run on a single-phase supply and use a capacitor to start. Usually between 0.12 and 3 kW, they are preferred in household appliances, small pumps, fans and workshop machines. They are a practical solution where a three-phase supply is not available.

Three-Phase Electric Motors

Three-phase motors are fed from three phases and need no extra equipment to start. They offer higher power, better efficiency and balanced operation, which is why they have become the industrial standard.

Which Suits Which Application?

A single-phase motor is the right choice for low power and single-phase supply; a three-phase motor for industrial applications needing high power, efficiency and continuity.
