Single-Phase vs. Three-Phase Power: Austin Generator Selection Guide
Single-phase (120/240V) suits small projects and mobile offices. Three-phase (208/480V) is required for industrial equipment and heavy machinery. Choosing wrong power causes equipment damage and safety hazards.
Power Selection Guide:
Single-phase: Standard outlets, lighting, small tools
Three-phase: Large HVAC, elevators, compressors, welders
Three-phase is 150% more efficient for heavy loads
Check equipment nameplates before ordering
Incorrect power voids warranties
Common three-phase needs include commercial HVAC over 5 tons, industrial mixers, and welding machines over 200 amps. Our technicians review your equipment list ensuring proper selection and connection.
