Three-phase electric power is a common method of alternating-current electric power generation, transmission, and distribution.[1] It is a type of polyphase system and is the most common method used by grids worldwide to transfer power. It is also used to power large motors and other heavy loads. A three-phase system is generally more economical than others because it uses less conductor material to transmit electric power than equivalent single-phase or two-phase systems at the same voltage.[2] The three-phase system was introduced and patented by Nikola Tesla in 1887 and 1888

Substation transformer to single phase and three phase

Explanation:
A substation transformer changes voltage levels between high transmission voltages and lower distribution voltages. A transformer is an electrical device that transfers energy from one circuit to another purely by magnetic coupling and is used to convert between high (many thousands of volts) and low voltages (a couple of hundred volts) In most parts of Brazil, three phase electricity is at 380 volts whilst single phase is at 220 volts.
