1 Phase vrs 3 Phase

[Kissi Asiedu]

I would like to know the difference between a 200amp at 240 volts on a 1
phase service and that on a 3 phase please. Considering the power factor
rating of 80%. Is it more power? If it is how much more.

Active power(3 phase)= sqrt(3)*240*200*0,8=66,5kw
Active power(2 phase)=240*200*0,8=38,4kw
Best regards,
Ignacio Simón
