Three-phase electric power is the most widely used form of alternating current for electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. It is a type of polyphase system that uses three wires and is
Phase converter
…a device that converts electric power provided as single phase to multiple phase or vice versa. The majority of phase converters are used to produce three-phase electric power from a single-phase source, thus allowing the operation of three-phase equipment at a site that only has single-phase electrical service. Phase converters…
Three-phase transformer with four-wire output for 208Y/120 volt service: one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases
The first AC motor developed by Italian physicist Galileo Ferraris. This was a two-phase motor and required four wires.
