Definition of "Single Phase" |
A circuit having two conductor, one of which is the live conductor and the other the neutral conductor. / Relating to a system that uses only one AC power source, or multiple AC sources which are all in phase. / This implies a power supply or a load that uses only two wires for power. Some grounded single phase devices also have a third wire used only for a safety ground, but not connected to the electrical supply or load. / Single phase 120/240 volts is used primarily in residential structures. It is operated by 3 wires, consisting of two hot wires each carrying 120 volts and a neutral wire having no voltage. Items requiring 240 Volts are connected between the two hot wires, and loads requiring 120 Volts can be connected between either hot wire and the neutral. |
