A single-phase machine is preferred to a three-phase one when

  • A.the highest possible efficiency is required
  • B.the rating exceeds a few tens of kilowatts
  • C.the smoothest possible torque is required
  • D.only a single-phase supply is available

Answer: D

Correct answer: only a single-phase supply is available

That is the whole of the case. Where three phases are available the three-phase machine is better in every respect - more efficient, smaller for its rating, self-starting, smooth in torque and better in power factor. The single-phase machine exists because domestic and many small commercial premises have only one phase.
