Encyclopedia > 3 phase loads

3 phase loads refers to the various motors, machinery, and equipment that need 3 phase electrical power to run. This can range from electric motors used in coveyer belts and other machinery to 3 phase powered lasers, 3 phase ovens, battery chargers, cnc mills, and most types of industrial machinety. There are thousands of types of 3 phase loads.


Utility supplied 3 phase power is mainly available in major metropolitin cities, but often the utility company will chartge as much as $100,000 to install 3 phase power directly to your companies facility.
