From the article:

A polyphase coil takes advantage of the three phase's energy is made up of: induction, neutralization, and capacitance.

What is LCR?

This could really use some graphs or diagrams or...some sort of visualization. --Atario 19:11, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

"Three phase power is commonly found in industrial applications and LCR circuits."

What is an LCR circuit? Did you mean RLC circuit? if so, what does it have to do with three-phase power? - Omegatron 13:39, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)

Polyphase_coil says something about it.

there is no mention of other voltages availbile eg, in Canada\US

277/480, 347/600, 240/416.. as well as the difference in polyphase systems such as delta connections, wye connections etc.

Volates in north america polyphase are not limited to 120/208

delta is a live-live connection and wye is live-neutral connection. So this is covered in the article. Also some of the differences you mention might result from measuring either peek or mean(sp?) voltage.

Not all polyphase motors are self-starting (nor simple in construction). Ie. synchronius (sp? synchronic?) motor won't start and reach synchronic speed without either running in asynchronious mode (this means rotor has to be capable of both modes) or controlled frequency changes (this practically means computerised dedicated power supply).
