Abstract
Single-phase systems are adequate for residential applications up to an apparent power S of 5 kVA (per residence), and 25 kVA single-phase pole transformers supply power to about 5–10 residences. In rural areas irrigation applications require single-phase motor ratings of up to 50 kVA. Above this rating three-phase power equipment must be employed for commercial and industrial applications.
